Wife is making some meatballs tomorrow, so I have an idea for a Italian fattie .... will start out with sweet Italian sausage , cut off the casings, saute some Vidalia onions and mushrooms,add meatballs and sauce, with mozzarella cheese, wrap with bacon ...

1 1/2 lb sweet Italian sausage


sauteed onions and mushrooms


meatballs


more mozzarella

Well, 1 hr. in ... only at 112 internal, boy, this is an oversized fattie, may take 2 hrs at this rate ... smoker is running at 240 .. 

This ole boy aint round, its an oval shaped football lookin fattie ... lol 

when I rolled it up, had to take 3 more sausages out of the casings, to get it sealed .. didnt want to take any of the stuffing out ,,, 

so when i rolled it in a gal bag, there was 1 and 1/2 lb of sausage, then added 3 to seal it up, then was to big for the bacon, so had to add about another 1/2 pack of bacon ... lol ... hoping it doesnt blowout ...
 
Well, 2 hrs in, internal at 155 ... cant believe its not done yet  ... this is a big ole boy though... best i can figure is about 1 3/4 lb sausage, and about 1 3/4 lb bacon,  with all the internal stuff ...

I thought I had mine over stuffed!  I don't know how you guys roll them so well, and I worked in pizzerias for 10 years, and cooked at chi chi's when I was younger.  Looks like it's going to be great!  Thumbs up back atcha!
