Fattie Recipe
Among the grilling crowd, a "fattie" is a type of meat snack cooked while the main meat is smoking or barbecuing, which takes many hours. The Fattie is cooked in about 1 or 2 hours, making it a perfect snack.

Ingredients
  • 1 LB (roll or "chub") Whole Hog pork sausage.Your flavour choice- hot, basil, etcetera. Must be "whole hog" sausage though, since the others contain more fat and less meat cuts. Nothing wrong with that, still tastes great. For a Fattie, you want more ham and loin. "Tennessee Pride" brand works for me.
  • 6 Slices bacon. Thick sliced bacon (1/4 inch) works best but any will do, your preference
  • 8 Wooden Toothpicks more or less (wood, not plastic)
  • 1 TBSP Paprika
  • 1 TBSP Meat seasoning- Paul Prudhomme etcetera (OPTIONAL)

Directions
  1. Set up charcoal/wood grill for indirect heat, about 225 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Carefully trim off ends of sausage chub and push meat cylinder through
  3. Lay out the strips of bacon on a cutting board, overlapping slightly
  4. sprinkle the paprika and optional seasoning over bacon
  5. Place chub on one end of bacon and roll it up with bacon covering it
  6. Pin the bacon ends to the chub with toothpicks
  7. Place on grill over indirect heat and grill for 1 hour or so until it registers at least 185 degrees Fahrenheit internal temp. This is important!
  8. The outside bacon should be crispy and the chub nice and juicy.
  9. NOTE **You can put the Fattie on the grill at any time during your regular barbecuing**
  10. Slice into thick (1 inch slabs) and pass around to the folks waiting on your barbecue :)
  11. Watch meat disappear!
