If you like to shop at IKEA and plan your shopping spree in order to have to get lunch there so you can enjoy their iconic meatballs at their restaurant, IKEA has got your back.

The recipe was from the BBQ Addicts website and had slowly gone viral, with the New York Times publishing it’s adaptation of the recipe. BBQ Addicts came up with the recipe after being asked by Bacon Today to provide some barbecue bacon recipes. So the BBQ Sausage Recipe of all Recipes was born. I promised myself I would try it out, and I finally I got around to do it, inviting Scott and his crew to come over and help us making and mostly eating it. Here’s what I used: 2 pounds of thick cut bacon 2 pounds of Hot Italian sausage meat 1 bottle of…
