After seeing all of the fatty posts on here I decided I needed to give one a try. So today I started off with 1-1/5 lbs of thick cut bacon and made a bacon weave. Then I rolled a pound of Tennessee Pride Hot breakfast sausage inside a gallon zip lock bag with the corners cut off to allow air to escape. Since this was my first attempt at a fatty I decided to keep it fairly simple and stuffed the fatty with cream cheese, chopped mushrooms and jalapeno's. I hit it with a dusting of my homemade rub and rolled up the sausage fatty and then wrapped in the bacon weave. Put it in my SI#2 at 225 degrees for 3 hours and 15 minutes with 2 ounces of hickory until it an IT of 165. Stuck it under the broiler for 5 minutes to crisp up the bacon.
I was a little intimidated by the bacon weave and rolling up the stuffed sausage but it turned out to be really easy. Watch a few online tutorials on how to do it and you will do fine.
My fatty turned out awesome! I will definitely be doing more of these in the future. My wife wants me to do a hash brown, cheese and scrambled eggs for the next one. The cream cheese made the last picture a little messy but it tasted great!
