Sliced and ready to serve with some ribs, pork tenderloin and homemade pineapple salsa:

That thing looks like a calzone with bacon replacing the dough.

After attending my first Shack Herf (IV) I made my own bacon explosion (fattY). My wife and I tried feta once and carmelized onions as new ingredients, but neither worked as planned. I will have to get more adventerous and give this another shot. This time a super fatty.

Sorry, I ain't showing my gut to nobody if I can avoid it!

Quick fattie series.

blugill · 05-12-2010, 06:12 PM

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!!!!

OLS · 05-12-2010, 07:33 PM

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.

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

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.

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.

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:

Rolled out:

Four-cheese blend:

Home-made habanero pico de gallo and sliced avocado:

Rolled and wrapped up in bacon:

croatan · 05-19-2010, 02:25 PM

On the smoker (the ribs are below and the veggies are for the girls

):

Ready to eat:

Plated:

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!

All of the great photos are courtesy of Darrel.

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

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

Smokin Gator · 05-19-2010, 04:38 PM

That is one killer looking fatty James!!!

Chainsaw13 · 05-19-2010, 04:45 PM

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.
