Ingredients

2 lbs ground bison

2 eggs

2 tsp salt

2 tsp pepper

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

2 tbs worcestershire

½ cup italian bread crumbs

1 lb bacon

Directions

Add ground meat, eggs, spices and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl and mix. Add bread crumbs and mix well.

Weave bacon into a matt on large cutting board or cookie sheet. 

Start with one strip of bacon vertical on a line and place another strip horizontally at the bottom forming an “L.” The next strip of bacon will be horizontally above the second strip with about a ¼ inch gap between the two. 

Form meat into round loaf and place on top of bacon weave. Fold 4 corners of weave in to center. Add additional bacon slices to weave to encapsulate the loaf. Use toothpicks as needed. 

Warm up smoker grill to 375 degrees for about 10 minutes

Rotate the loaf so that the original bacon weave is facing up and place on smoker grill. Cook at 375 degrees for approximately 1 to 1 ½ hours until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees. 

Remove from heat and let rest on cutting board for 5 minutes. Slice and serve and enjoy.
