Super fattie contest
 

No, this isn't the next activity at the Shack Herf. This is something that DARRELL got me thinking about.
We have such well developed specialty threads here at the Asylum, but I did not want to clog up
"What's in Your Smoker?" with a whole fattie exploration.

OK, you know you buy some sausage and roll it out on some wax paper in a pan into roughly the shape
of a football field. Then you pile all kinds of crap in the middle and roll it up. Bacon wrap or weave
optional. Pop it in the oven or your smoker and wait, drink and smoke. When the bacon is done,
the fattie is done.
SURE, some wu$$ies use a temp probe. I call that a cheese leak. Here is a thread showing a bunch of
entries into a contest at another web forum.
Not trying to promote another board, just a good activity. Make em, photograph em, share em.

Re: Super fattie contest
 

Wow... this is like a whole sub-culture... I'd never be able to eat one, but it is very interesting!

Re: Super fattie contest
 

I will have to give it a shot this weekend or so. I got an idea for something.

People it is just Advanced Meat Loaf. And it is good. :D

Re: Super fattie contest
 

I really loved the 'bacon explosion' at Shack last year. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Re: Super fattie contest
 

Meatloaf 212, requisite for your Masters Degree in Arterial Resurfacing.

Had to take a Lipitor and an antacid after reading this.....LOL

Re: Super fattie contest
 

I'm glad I make you think of having a fatty, Brad. :r

Re: Super fattie contest
 

I like to roll the bacon on as opposed to the weave, but it is amazing either way.

Re: Super fattie contest
 

I am really anxious to try making one of these -- my wife will probably kill me :)

Re: Super fattie contest
 

This...will...change...my...life....

Re: Super fattie contest
 

If she doesn't your clogged arteries will.

Re: Super fattie contest
 

I just got everything to put this together tomorrow. It will either be great or gross but I will post up pics when it is all done.

Why not?

If it's a kosher thing, just use turkey or chicken sausage. If you can'f find it in bulk, just buy a pack or two of cased turkey/chicken sausage and cut the casings open lengthwise with a razor blade or kitchen shears and scoop out the sausage.

Or you could just be a bad Jew like me and the master of the grill himself, Steven Raichlen, and not worry about keeping kosher.

Is this the correct place to talk about Meat Ship construction?

Re: Super fattie contest
 

I've been thinking about makin a fattie. Will have to keep an eye out on this thread!

Re: Super fattie contest

Re: Super fattie contest
 

Quick fattie series.

Re: Super fattie contest
 

I am gonna have to stir up some trouble with one of these this weekend. How cool, never heard of a fattie before. Well that's not true, I have heard of fatties, but not like this!!

Re: Super fattie contest
 

I would suggest you go simple but go big!!! Sam's has 2 1/2 pound chubs of Jimmy Dean!!

Re: Super fattie contest
 

I don't know if I could eat any of one of these but I do think I can try it out on my friends first!!!!

Re: Super fattie contest
 

Aw they come runnin, blugill. Tips: don't put the cheese to the edge like I did, it messes up sealed ends and GETS to the edge through
sheer capillary action. So if you stop like i said, between the hash marks, it should be good. Keep liquids out as much as
possible. Use wax paper on top and bottom when squishing it flat, it makes it REALLY easy. Peel the top layer and discard. After
you finish loading up, use that wax paper bottom to help you get the roll going, then pull it back gently when you "lick the rolling paper"
so to speak. Anything you want to HELP you roll a fattie like bacon weaves, should be chilled before doing drastic things like attaching it.
You end up weaving with warm-cool bacon and wrapping the fattie with a chilled "cloth" of bacon. Chill the fatie before wrapping further, too.
Stuff wants to fall apart when it is heavy, wet and room temp.

Re: Super fattie contest
 

Oh jeez....I can't stop drooling...

Re: Super fattie contest
 

When I made my first one I used a gallon-size zip top bag. I added the meat and pressed it flat to fill it uniformly and tossed it in the fridge for a bit to chill while I cooked and cooled the filling.

Then I just cut down both sides of the bag and spread the plastic flaps open. I used it to help roll everything together, too -- Kinda like a big, clear, sushi mat.

Re: Super fattie contest
 

I used plastic wrap to make the sushi roll. I got one in the oven right now. It smells good. Well I think it smells good anyway.

Re: Super fattie contest
 

This thread inspired Darrel (The Professor) and me to smoke a big fattie on Monday to go along with some baby backs and chicken legs for the regular Monday night herf at my house.

After staring at each other for an hour or so trying to figure out what kind of fattie we wanted to make, we decided to go with a Mexican theme, starting with a mixture of pork sausage and chorizo:

The fattie turned out awesome; people were fighting for seconds. And it was a blast to make! Can't wait until we do the next one. Thanks for the inspiration, Brad!

Re: Super fattie contest
 

The ones that Tim brought to SHV last summer were pure unadulterated pork :D

I guess the sky is the limit though,as to what you can do with it :tu

Re: Super fattie contest
 

That is one killer looking fatty James!!!

Re: Super fattie contest
 

Hmm, this just came to mind.

Italian sausage, cooked/cooled polenta, ragu bolognese, porcini mushrooms, parm and mozz cheese. I even have some homemade pancetta I could slice up and use for the weave. If only I wasn't going away this weekend.

Re: Super fattie contest
 

Back in my college days, I used to roll fatties and smoke them all the time.





Only difference is, I was the one who got grilled.

Re: Super fattie contest
 

:r:r

You and me both brother!!

Re: Super fattie contest
 

uhh... im hungry as heck right now after looking through this and the linked thread. dont have a smoker, how do these fair in a normal oven? or is it not even worth it?

stearns

Re: Super fattie contest
 

They do just fine in the oven. If you want smokey, just use a nice hickory smoked bacon. Go for about 250* until you get an "IT" of about 160*-165*. Cook it up on a cookie rack to let the fat drip off. :tu

Re: Super fattie contest
 

You could also baste with a mix of liquid smoke and butter or add some liquid smoke to the ground meat before cooking.

Not all liquid smokes are the same, read the ingredients, some are artificial, some are 100% natural (like Wright's) flavor. I personally won't touch the artificially flavored ones.

I've only seen liquid smoke in hickory and mesquite flavors, which are probably the two most popular smoking woods in the US, not sure if there are any other flavors available or not.

Re: Super fattie contest
 

Are you even allowed to participate in this thread??? It's about pork??l :)

Re: Super fattie contest
 

I made one last weekend? I used 2lbs of ground turkey and stuffed it with rice, spinach, and apple. I did wrap it with bacon. I was going to smoke it but the weather was crappy so into the oven it went. I liked it but it will be alot better next time. It was a first run and I learned alot. Next time I am thinking 1lb of ground pork with 1lb of ground sausage. I am going to fill it with cheese and spagetti sauce. I got an idea how to keep the sauce in there. I will post pics when I do it.

Re: Super fattie contest
 

:r.....that explains why I ALWAYS serve my fatties with a side o' Doritos!
