Here's something I found on tasty sounding porky treat.



Yes -- pork. What did you think I was talking about??? :thinking: 8)



One of the most simple and effortless things to BBQ in your smoker is the classic fattie. These little gems are guaranteed to make you a couple of new friends, as long as you are willing to share. And why not? We all know that BBQ is all about sharing… and, of course, deliciousness.

There are many variations to this wonderful little creation. One of them actually made national headline news back in January as the Bacon Explosion. This simple fatty requires a little less effort to make and there isn’t any weaving involved.

The recipe is as follows: take a log of Jimmy Dean Premium Pork Sausage (or any other brand of your choosing), remove it from the packaging and roll it in your favorite BBQ Rub. Be sure to get good coverage. Smoke this log for a couple of hours between 225-250°F or until you reach the Jimmy Dean recommended internal temperature 160°F. Slice into mouth-watering medallions and prepare to be popular.

These are perfect little appetizers and/or breakfast food… they go perfectly on a bagel with some cream cheese. you can do an internet search and find a multitude of variations for barbecuing a fattie, but I recommend trying this simple version first.

Looks tasty, Kurt.

BTW, have you looked at the Bacon Explosion? :o

It looks awesome, but I'm guessing I'd make it through one slice, and need a nap -- or a defibrillator. :lol:

I usually try to camp near him. :twisted:

We have been doing fatties for over a year, and anything goes. We also use ground chuck and fill with cheese, bell peppers, onions and roll the entire thing up with bacon, just like the picture in the above article. It is really good that way!!

I've got some jalepeños growing in the backyard that are looking for a purpose in life. That may be it. :thinking:
