Smoked Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Sausage Roll


  1 lb. bacon.
    1/2 cup ham, diced or very thin strips.
    1 cup sharp cheddar cheese.
    Some cut up jalapeno peppers.
    Half an onion, diced.
    And anything else you want, mushrooms, spinach, whatever.


    Make a bacon weave, about 12 by 12 inches.
    Place 2 lbs of ground sausage into a zip top bag.
    Flatten the sausage to equal thickness, about 10 by 10 inches.
    Sprinkle some rub on the sausage.
    Place rest of the ingredients on sausage. Roll it up and make a big  stuffed sausage roll. 

   Try to pinch  the ends closed.
    Carefully place the roll on one edge of the bacon weave. Roll it so the  bacon covers the whole thing.  be sure to cover the ends good.
    Preheat smoker for 225-250°F.
    Place bacon wrapped sausage roll into smoker on a baking pan or some foil  on the grates, so it doesn't fall through. I used a pan with a top with   holes in it.
    Smoke cook for about 3 hours or until the inside of the meat reaches  170°F.
    Take it out and let it rest for a little bit, maybe 15 minutes.
