Bacon Explosion version 2

So I took the general idea of the bacon explosion but decided that the sausage probably could be replaced. So Ive decided to re-invent it.



The necessary ingredients. Bacon of course, Beef Tenderloin, Blue Cheese, and Roasted Garlic, and a little bit of liquid smoke(it was monsoonin' so BBQ was out).



Butterflied the loin and spread the cheese and garlic.

Holy shit that looks good!!!!!

 

oh my god......im friggin hungry now!!!!

 

try Clemson Blue Cheese, its the best ever

 

I may have to try this one morning when I get off work. No point in making it for dinner. I doubt my girlfriend would want that much bacon.

 

Crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I need that recipe!

 

whats the ideal cook time and how should it be cooked?

 

by the looks of it.. it looks like it was oven baked anywhere from 375-400 degrees F for approx 30-40 min, probably less time for the the one in the pic because its medium rare. i guess it should be cooked slowly for a long time to get an even cook

 

I preheated the oven at 300 degrees. Cooked it for about 1 hr 15 mins. Bacon wasn't as crispy as I wanted it so I broiled it a few minutes a side until it reached desired crispiness.

I would recommend instead of the preroasted garlic(if you do use garlic) use raw garlic. The garlic taste was almost bitter and overpowering. Should have thought of that before I roasted the garlic.

 

roasted garlic needs to be creamy like peanut-butter.

I put a bunch of whole garlic into a pot with oil...med-high heat(until cloves are soft).....Drain the oil...then put softened garlic cloves into a blender....Smoooooth creamy garlic!!! Awesome for pastas and asian foods

 

This may sound like like blasphemy (I like me some garlic), but it looks like maybe you just used a little too much garlic. I put slivers of raw garlic into pot roast before I cook it. It works wonders for the flavor, but if you happen to catch a bite of one of those slivers, you most certainly know it.

I may have to try your version....I think my wife will approve of this one. I'll probably substitute Feta for the blue cheese, though.

 

my mouths getting wet

 

I'll have to try this one!!! MMMMMMMMMM
