I made brats and ran out of casings. I have about 4lbs of meat left over. Any ideas of what I should do with it? 

I thought about using that meat to make a fatty.

I once made a deep dish Chicago style pizza using leftover bratwurst as the sausage layer. It was pretty tasty. Had I planned a little better I might've used caramelized onions and a mustard based sauce and maybe some smoked mozzarella to make it even more "authentic".
 
I made Kielbasa a couple days ago..... Rolled "Kielbasa Balls" and threw them in the smoker with the sausage... Came out really good...

Try some of those along with a fatty.... I think they would be really good in spaghetti...

That is a good idea. When my family gets together to make kielbasa, we always about 10 extra pounds and cook in the oven. So good!
 
I think I am going to go with making a fatty. I haven't made a fatty and I am excited to try it. I am hoping tomorrow, but it will depend if I can kick this stomach bug by then.

This does sound good for another time. Do you have a recipe for the Chicago style pizza? Are you allowed to share it? :)
 
It's just a deep dish pizza, no real recipe involved. I think I looked on YouTube at a few videos to see how the parts all went together. It's basically crust, sauce, meat, crust, sauce, cheese and then whatever other toppings you want.
 
I know some people think it is not sausage unless it is in a casing.

Might not be the traditional Brat.  But to me it is still good sausage.

Good luck and good smoking.
 
I ended up making a fatty out of it. I will upload the photos when I get the transferred to my computer. It was tasty!
 
I can't believe I didn't think to stuff it with sauerkraut. That is pure genius. I will do that on the next smoke. I have a little more meat left.
