I had this idea awhile back, and finally got around to it (could have been done before?). But here's what I came up with for my hankering for a fattie on a much smaller scale.
I bought a 1lbs chubb of Bob Evans sausage. Some hash browns, an onion, some cheese, and some green chile.
Laid out the 1 lbs chubb in two ziplocs (Half gal I think)

Split each of the half gal bags into 4 different sausage sheets

Rolled up very....very...very carefully

Wrapped w/ Saran, and into the freezer to set the shape for 30 mins

Then eavh of the chubbies got their own slice of bacon wrapped around it

Then onto the UDS. Used toothpics to hold their spots and to make sure they wouldnt roll

Close to the 2 hour mark

Off the drum, and ready to try

Here's what they looked like fresh off the smoker
