I'm looking for a new spin on an old favorite! So let the ideas, recipes and q-views fly!! What have you stuffed in a fattie?

BTW, never, ever google "what to stuff in a fattie" --OMG, I almost went blind!!!
 
I like pizza fatties and I did one with German potato salad and pineapple chunks that was real good and different,  I am thinking of doing a fruit fatty with berries and apple maybe some brown sugar and cinnamon.  I also like to use 1/2 sausage 1/2 ground chuck for the base.  All sausage is just to much for me. Cheese fatty might be good to.  I am not to keen on wrapping with bacon but crispy bacon on the inside works. The possibility's abound.  Good luck and I will be waiting to see what you and everyone else comes up with.

I think the bacon I use may be too thick (as if that is even a term that should EVER be said out loud!) -- in the past I have pre-woven my bacon and mildly pre-cooked it in the oven while the fattie starts smoking. Once the fattie has a nice smoke on it I wrap my weave around it. Otherwise, my bacon doesn't get done enough. I've never thought of just putting cooked bacon INSIDE! I like it!!!

Good idea smokeusum,  Never thought of precooking the weave. Do you just lay it on a cookie sheet then broil till it like 1/2 done.  then put the presmoked fattie on it and wrap.  I can see that helping the inside of the bacon to get done.  I am going to have to try this and maybe I will be a convert. Thanks

I bake it at about 250. Broiling or baking hotter causes it the draw up. I do it on a cookie sheet and I wish I could tell you about times; when I use the oven, I cook by smell. But after about i guess 20 minutes I flip it over so it cooks evenly on both sides. You want it still pliable, and after its partly done it finishes up well in the smoker.

Here's a q-view :)

Thanks - some others I have done but can't find the pictures of... 

Ruben fatty - used brats out of their casings, and swiss, kraut, and thousand island dressing. 

Use Italian sausage and stuff with mozzarella and spinach and garlic. 

Scrambles eggs, hash browns, onions. This is the only one I have enrobed in bacon. 
 
I'm currently smoking my first fatty, its a simple breakfast stuffed with syrup and blueberry muffins. however I came up with a few ideas for fatties I want to try. I want to do a Mac & cheese one with chunked ham and sweet corn; a Mexican one with queso, salsa, taco meat, maybe spinach (since I doubt lettuce or cabbage will hold up), and either Doritos, tortilla chips, or fritos; a Hawaiian one with cheese, pineapples, bell peppers, and spam; a Philly cheesesteak one, a turkey chili one with black beans, corn, jiffy cornbread, and shredded cheese; and a Cajun one with red beans & rice, Cajun sausage, cheese, and a Cajun rub. I'll probably use spicy sausage for that one.
 
oh yeah, I forgot I want to do a meatloaf fattie stuffed with meatloaf (obviously) and either mashed or au gratin potatoes. I haven't decided if I want to serve it with carrots, corn, and string beans, or just stuff that inside too.
