(CNN) Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has a creative way of cooking bacon.

In an IJReview.com video published Monday, the Republican presidential candidate wraps an uncooked bacon strip around a machine gun, secures it with foil paper, and shoots a target using four magazines of 5.56 ammo, until the gun is so hot that the bacon is crispy and and browned.

In Texas, we cook bacon a little differently than most folks... https://t.co/PnjPe79qq2 — Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) August 3, 2015

"In Texas, we cook bacon a little differently than most folks," Cruz tweeted Monday.

This is not the first video starring a 2016 candidate that IJReview.com has produced.
