So, I was showing my daughter the fatties. She and I are both bacon lovers, so thought she would get a kick out of them. Her eyes lit up and said we need to make one!!!! How can I deny her of such a simple request? So we talked about them and figured what we wanted to make.
I must give props to Silverwolf636 (and his wife) for the great tutorial thread!!!

Now to be fair. I have been cooking professionally for 20+ years. So I have a bit of an edge, but his tutorial was on point!!
We ended up making Three Fatties. I did not plan on posting this, but she said "Daddy your not going to take pictures and put this on that web site you go too?" So again, how can I deny her? So I do not have the assembly pictures.
1) German Fattie: Bratwurst filling wrapped around sauerkraut, then the entire thing was wrapped with bacon. I am planning on making a quick Hunter Sauce, Spatzel and Red Cabbage to serve with it. We shall see if time allows for all of that.
2) American Fattie: Seasoned Ground Beef (SPOG) wrapped around creamy mac & cheese with a schmear of BBQ sauce, then the entire thing wrapped in bacon. I am only planning on doing some garlic bread and more BBQ sauce.
3) Mediterranean Fattie: Seasoned Ground Beef (SPOG) wrapped around blanched fresh spinach and a Parmesan, mozzarella, garlic cream spread, then wrapped with bacon. I am planning on using the same garlic bread or maybe some garlic Naan Bread
Here they are getting ready to chill. I am thinking of doing an old trick we do and put them in the freezer for about 15 min to really set the bacon to remove the wrap and place in the smoker.
