1 cup fresh breadcrumbs

10 rashers rindless bacon

1 egg, lightly beaten

2 tablespoon barbecue sauce

1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary

2.In a large bowl, combine mince, carrot, onion, breadcrumbs, 2 chopped bacon rashers, egg, sauce and rosemary. Season to taste; mix well.

3.Arrange remaining bacon rashers in a row on tray, slightly overlapping. Spoon mince mixture down centre of bacon and shape into a 20cm log. Press cheese cubes evenly into mixture.

4.Fold bacon over and secure with toothpicks. Roll over, so seam side is facing down.
