a fatty, I had no idea....

[friesian_rain]

....how good these things are ! I'm addicted.....
So, for my first ever "fatty" I used 1 lb.each of hot italian sausage and JD sausage and stuffed it with sliced crimini mushrooms, shallots, crumbled goat cheese, fresh ground pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, thyme, and a sprinkle of truffle salt. And wrapped in bacon.
On grill over indirect heat, using lump coal (leftover pieces of oak and mesquite) and a few chunks of hickory wood. Cooked to an internal temp of 160. It was delicious !
Since it was Cinco de Mayo and this really wasn't a Mexican meal, I drank a "nice" amount of Tequila just for the occasion

FR if you get to the point where sausage, bacon and the stuffing are not decadent enough add one more layer of flavor....

 

[Griff]

That was a real nice looking fatty.

Those things look soooo good!!! I don't even think I could do the bacon weave without screwing it up. LOL Do you use toothpicks to hold it all together?

 

[Smokey Lew]

Like the goat cheese and mushrooms in that stuffing. Did you coat the outside of the fatty with the Grand Marnier or was that for coating your inside?

I probably shouldn't admit to this but, I could eat that.... at least once We don't have a Krispy Keme donuts here, people are always flying back into Juneau with bags or boxes of them !


@Lew, the Grand Marnier and tequila were for me ( it was cinco de mayo, blend a little tequila, triple sec, fresh lime and add a floater shot of Grand Marnier on top, yummy )

@Buckeye, no toothpicks were used; but the tequila was impairing my motor skills just a tad bit. If you look closely, I totally screwed up the weaving job. but yet, it still tasted so wonderful !

The toughest looking part about doing a fatty is that damn bacon weave.....I'm not sure I can pull it off without it all falling apart!! LOL...I guess I just need to try. It must be easier than it looks.

I saw you used 2lbs of ground meat, but how much bacon is needed for a proper fatty weave?
