Shotgun shells - the kind you eat

in that case its a good thing i don't have a paypal account

i have heard the term "fatties " for years is that a term for breakfast sausage ?

The fattie I pictured above is bulk breakfast sausage spread flat covered with cheese and rolled up, then wrapped in a bacon weave and baked/smoked.

We like it. It's OK that you don't.

What is the texture of the pasta shell in the finished product?

A bit chewy but not terrible when I made them. Al dente but you dont notice much with the crispy bacon.

But they were sort of gross since the only liquid hydrating the pasta was the fat from the sausage and bacon. Not my thing.

Your turds (hee hee, see what I did there) are something I make a couple times a summer for parties. They are way better, IMO.

I get yer pretty new around here, but as a culture thing here at DC we have a solid respect for what others eat. You don't like something that's great, but we start to draw a line when it starts to be a thing to divide us.

The only required element of a fatty is the smoked chub of breakfast sausage. Everything else is optional, and up to its maker.

SO and I were at a BBQ competition years ago. I saw the ABTs at a booth and bought an order. We fell in love with them. I had trouble getting the construction right. They tended to fall apart on the grill. A former member of this site, pacanis, posted a tutorial and it worked perfectly. I haven't made a fattie in a while as I'm the only one who likes them.

Not how I make mine, but the rules for ABTs are pretty loose.

I use a very cold piece of cheddar in mine (almost frozen), only because I like it better than cream cheese, and it doesn't all leak out during cooking.

We also like ABTs, and make them from time to time. So good!

As for fatties, I've made a lot of variations on them that do not strictly adhere to breakfast sausage. I've made them out of ground beef with add-ins as pictured in the bifketi spin-off. Also made pizza-like ones using sweet Italian sausage with basil, pasta sauce, and cheese. Basically, I start with two pounds of ground meat when I make them and go from there. 80% of the time, I will start with breakfast sausage. I do love them made like a breakfast burrito without the tortilla.
