Although the Bacon Bomb fit the specs of my low-carb diet, let me be clear: this was not my idea! 

It was more of a challenge.  The gauntlet was thrown down by  my husband's son, who was on leave from the Navy for the holidays.  He challenged me to create a "Bacon Explosion," a food-porn worthy, bacon concoction he and his Navy buddies fantasised about while at sea.  

According to John R. Kettle, IV, "We're on the ship. We can't leave. We have to deal with the  Navy food.  So we  tease ourselves with massive, amazing creations.  You know how you salivate?  We sit there the entire morning starving, and imagining what it would be like to eat these things. One day was entirely dedicated to bacon, so we went online and Googled bacon food and we found this!"
