step by step

Method

  1. Weave the bacon lattice

    • Lay half the bacon slices side by side on a sheet of parchment.
    • Weave the remaining slices over and under to form a tight lattice.
    • Season the weave lightly with BBQ rub.
    Step 1

  2. Build the filling

    • Season the ground beef with salt, pepper and the rest of the BBQ rub.
    • Flatten the beef into an even layer over the bacon weave.
    • Spread the cream cheese over the beef, then top with the cheddar slices.
    Step 2

  3. Roll the explosion

    • Roll the bacon weave tightly around the filling, using the parchment to help.
    • Tuck in the ends so the cheese stays inside.
    • Wrap the roll in foil or cling film and chill so it holds its shape.
    Step 3

  4. Smoke on the BBQ

    • Heat the smoker or BBQ to 135 °C (275 °F) with indirect heat.
    • Place the roll on the grate and smoke until the bacon is crisp and the beef reaches 71 °C (160 °F) inside.
    • Brush with BBQ sauce during the last few minutes of cooking.
    Step 4

  5. Rest and serve

    • Let the roll rest for a few minutes so the cheese sets.
    • Slice into thick rounds and serve hot.
