Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups diced onions
  • 1 ½ cups diced peppers we used banana peppers and bell peppers
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 pound sausage venison or pork
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
  • 6 slices Swiss cheese
  • 7 slices thick sliced bacon

Instructions

  • Add olive oil to a large skillet with onions and peppers. Cook over medium heat until vegetables are softened. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Form ground beef into about a 12 inch square and set on parchment paper. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Create about a 10 inch square with sausage and layer onto center of ground beef.
  • Top with cheese slices, covering sausage layer and out to the ends of the square.
  • Spoon peppers and onion mixture over cheese.
  • Using the sides of the parchment paper, bring the ground beef to meet in the center and press the seam together. Fold in the ends, forming a loaf.
  • Weave bacon slices over the top of the loaf, tucking in the ends under the bottom.
  • Prepare a grill fire or smoker to about 400°. The high heat will sear the bacon, creating a crunchy crust to the bbq fatty.
  • Place over indirect heat and cook with the lid closed until internal temperature reaches about 165°. About 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Remove from grill or smoker and allow to rest 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Slice into thick slices for serving.
