Poor Attempt at the Cowgirl's Fatty

[bbquzz]

Several days ago I posted a fatty I saw on Cowgirl's Country Life blog http://tinyurl.com/yfukop2. It looked easy enough,
but nooooo if it were easy everyone would be doing it. Mine tastes great, but sure does not look anything like hers. Two
things I did learn was using the 1 gallon zip bag to roll out the sausage and the cookie shooter I bought for stuffing ABT's
works well to form the filling. This was only my second attempt at a fatty, so I can look forward to many more attempts.

Another finding was hot sausage, the only one I could find when I made this was Tennessee Pride .... This is hotter than
JD or BE, but good. I stuffer this one with red and green peppers, corned beef hash and some extra potatoes. I used
Smithfield extra thick bacon, good bacon, but did not make the greatest weave.

I am embarrassed, but here are my pictures.

Oh that's a Bacon Explosion. I made one of those 1 week before the Saints taught the Colts a lesson. Mine had crispy bacon on inside, 2 brats, 2 pounds of ground pork, and a bacon wrap. Zats & Wolfe's throughout. A bit much though.

Who cares how it looks.. how did it taste?

 

[Vermin999]

It looks like its gonna taste great, thats what really matters.

That makes me hungry....

Looks good to me bbquzz. No reason to be embarrased by that fattie. Send it my way and I'll dispose of it for you.

bbquzz, whatever you do, don't eat that damn thing! Send that sucker to me and I'll be the guenea pig to make sure it is worth eating. I don't think you should even smell it.

That's nothing to be ashamed of! If it's really that bad next time send it to me, I'll show you how to dispose of it!

Just got a suggestion over on Face Book to slice a Krispy Kream and put a slice of the fatty in there ... I think it was a joke, but it sounds too good to pass up, I'm going to try it

 

[Shiz-Nit]

[surfinsapo]

Sweet... Oh wait that's the other one....

Has anyone ever used ground beef ilo of pork sausage?

Looks good. I have used ground chuck in the form of meatloaf which would seem to be a fatty with a funny shape. Works good. Finished product would not be as firm textured as the sausage is about the only difference I can envision. Maybe a little mo crumbly. Add an egg.

Is the bacon weave as difficult to do as it looks? Is there a video somewhere on how to make one of these works of art?
Thanks,
Hal

bbquzz, That's a great looking fattie! Nice job.

I made a post on my blog showing how I do a bacon weave if you're interested...

It's easy..the plastic helps keep the fattie tight while rolling.

Again, great looking fattie bbquzz!! 8)
