My first cook!!!

[ConanLloyd]

For my first ever Traeger cook, I present a Meat Church Breakfast Fatty…

bacon weave

sausage and cheese on

I forgot to get a pic of the eggs on it so here’s a pic of it in the IW650…

Ill
Let you know in about 90 minutes.

Pulled it with an inner temp of 165

Rested it for 15 min or so while walking the pups, then cut and served.

Daughter loved it, SWMBO though it was good but the bacon almost overwhelming. This leads to my lesson learned from it… Use regular cut bacon, not thick. Bacon was cooked but still ver soft and was a bit strong. I’ll try regular next time and see if that helps with both issues.

Looks great. I believe the recipe/instructions definitely call for regular and not thick cut

Yes they do!

 

[ConanLloyd]

Yes they do!

Yup, my fault for not specifying when I asked SWMBO to pick up bacon & sausage while at the store.

 

[ConanLloyd]

So next one will be regular bacon and I might try throwing some form of potato in there.

Looks awesome.
You can also use Apple smoked bacon, instead of hickory smoked. My wife just won’t eat hickory smoked, says it’s to strong. Don’t know what kind of pellets you used, but if your wife thinks it was to strong, might try a milder pellet such as Apple, Cherry, pecan, maple, etc.

I used Kingsford classic blend. She said it wasn’t the flavor, but that there was just so much bacon. I think we’ll be good with doing it again with regular sliced bacon.

Looks like you did GREAT to me Conan... Thick bacon, that's a matter of taste not a mistake... I probably would have enjoyed it just like that!!! So there ya go.

TIP: you don't even have to have bacon weave at all, flatten your sausage chub out and put it in the freezer to firm up, do the same with any ingredient that's a little runny, like cream cheese... put your fav rub on and smoke it.
You can even always wrap it later in a tortilla!!!

If the thick bacon wasn't crispy enough, it could easily be seared in a cast iron pan. Just roll it to crisp up the outside of the bacon. Might have made the texture better to suit her taste.
But what you did looks good to me. So good I am planning for mine for dinner tomorrow
