Time to smoke a fatty

[eyeguy 54]

been a while, better do one.

The guys at work have been dropping hints about me bringing some fatties in... I generally smoke 6 and get about 50 slices. I buy King's Hawaiian Rolls to make mini sandwiches.

[eyeguy 54]

cool this one will be not quite so fat. 1/3 deer, 1/3 jimmy dean,1/3 beef. Mixed up with cranberries, red pepper, bacon bits and shredded cheese all mixed up in the log. shoulda grabbed some hi temp cheese but no patience... lol

overnight in the fridge

apple chips

Wow, that looks fantastic.

[bobberineyes]

You ain't a kidding, not only does it look fun to eat, it looks fun to make.

[eyeguy 54]

cool down time. hope to have a slice in a couple hours.

You always make that the same way eyeguy? I don't have any venny and was wondering if one could substitute anything else.

[eyeguy 54]

different every time. you can use all pork or add some beef. mine are more like a summer sausage than a real fatty. kind of a cross

[bobberineyes]

Thanks, we use quite a bit of (excuse my spelling) chirazo sausage round here so might throw that in. Any secret on keeping the bacon from falling off. Been many years since a fatty been smoked so kinda been otta the loop.

[eyeguy 54]

do a bacon weave on cellophane. then make the log and roll up. I like to let it set up overnight then it doesnt go so out of round in the smoker.

I like this thread!!

[Sandmannd]

Do you have a recipe on how you make these up. It looks fantastic!

[leechlake]

you can just buy Jimmy Dean sausage and then do the bacon weave. Other than that just grind whatever you like and add some seasoning and wrap. Frankly, Jimmy Dean is better than anything I can mix up, I love that stuff. Eye guy adding some cranberry to it is a nice twist. Kind of looked like fruit cake though

The bacon weave is the hard thing and kind of time consuming.

[eyeguy 54]

bacon weave is a piece a cake after you have done a few. the dried crans and red peppers add a nice little sweet taste. 1/2 deer and 1/2 jimmy dean works nice. pound of each. or ground Italian at the store. high temp cheese is better than the shredded I used on this one. I true fatty has all the stuff rolled up and in the middle but I like to mix it all up. you can google smoke a fatty and see lots of ideas. I sprinkled a little cayenne pepper on the bacon also on this one.

These are some "Cuban" fatties that I've made a few times. It's like meat candy.

[eyeguy 54]

nice! thx for sharing.

[JP Z]

Nice on Hoggs those look very good. I love Cubans....what exactly are your ingredients?

[hoggs222]

I used 1# of jimmy dean or whatever pork sausage, flattened out in a square. Ham, swiss, banana peppers and pickles. Roll it up and wrap with a bacon weave. I put it in the fridge for an hour or more wrapped in saran wrap to help keep the shape.

I really want to try a pizza one. I've seen some where once it's finished, you wrap it in croissant and bake it to give it a crust.

That Cuban fatty looks great. Seems like mustard is a key component to any Cuban sandwich I've had. I wonder if you did a mustard glaze of some sort? You got my wheels churning, now
