There’s nothing like a juicy burger or some bacon, and maybe a donut to top it off. Better yet, you could just combine your favorite fatty foods into one artery-clogging dish. That’s what the blog “This Is Why You’re Fat” and the book by the same name showcase. Check out a few of the recipes for these seriously sinful meal mash-ups.

DIRECTIONS

Cook the bacon in a pan until one side is mostly done, but not fully cooked through. Dry the bacon of grease, then slather the mostly cooked side of the bacon with cream cheese.

Unroll the cinnamon rolls on a hard surface. Place the cream cheese-slathered bacon onto the unrolled cinnamon rolls. Roll the cinnamon rolls back up with the cream cheese bacon inside.

Place the rolls on a nonstick baking sheet and bake for 17-20 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove from oven and top with icing provided in the cinnamon roll packaging.

Bacon mac and cheese meatloaf
"This Is Why You're Fat"

INGREDIENTS

2 eggs
2 slices wheat bread, crumbled
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 large garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoon parsley, minced
Worcestershire sauce to taste
Cayenne pepper to taste
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
1 1/4 cups onion, sliced
10 strips of bacon
Premade macaroni and cheese

DIRECTIONS

Mix ground chuck, eggs, bread, ketchup, garlic, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper with hands in a large bowl.

Meanwhile, sweat onion until translucent but not brown. Allow onions to cool, then add to meat mixture. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and move to refrigerator.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lay bacon across the width of a loaf pan. Press a layer of meat into the bottom of the pan, on top of the bacon. This layer should fill exactly one third of the loaf pan.

Scoop some of the macaroni and cheese into the loaf pan, making sure to press out any air bubbles. This layer should also fill one third of the loaf pan.

Form a slab of meat in the approximate size and shape of the remaining one third of the loaf pan. Transfer the slab to the loaf pan. Add or remove meat as necessary to ensure a snug fit.

Fold strips of bacon back over the top of the meatloaf. Roast until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
