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. shopping list
- 6 Slices bacon. Thick sliced bacon (1/4 inch) works best but any will do, your preference shopping list
- 8 Wooden toothpicks more or less (wood, not plastic) shopping list
- 1 TBSP paprika shopping list
- 1 TBSP Meat seasoning- Paul Prudhomme etcetera (OPTIONAL) shopping list
How to make it
- Set up charcoal/wood grill for indirect heat, about 225 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Carefully trim off ends of sausage chub and push meat cylinder through
- Lay out the strips of bacon on a cutting board, overlapping slightly
- sprinkle the paprika and optional seasoning over bacon
- Place chub on one end of bacon and roll it up with bacon covering it
- Pin the bacon ends to the chub with toothpicks
- 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!
- The outside bacon should be crispy and the chub nice and juicy.
- NOTE **You can put the Fattie on the grill at any time during your regular barbecuing**
- Slice into thick (1 inch slabs) and pass around to the folks waiting on your barbecue :)
- Watch meat disappear!
