Fatties for the 1st time

[denappy]

Rolled my first fattie for the smoker. Made the filling of potatoes, pablano pepper, onions, smoked ham and a dash of cilantro and garlic. Weaved some bacon and added the filling topped with some smoked cheddar (from last weekend; couldn't wait

).  Here are some QViews:

Got my wrappers all ready:

We ate some and I'm going to vacuum seal the rest and freeze it; should be good to boil in the bag for breakfast, lunch or dinner.  These were pretty easy to do and they were a lot fun.  Thanks to all those on this forum for posting all the great ideas and hints!

I sliced up one of these and vacuum packed it into the freezer.  Decided to have one for breakfast this morning.  Took the bag from the freezer, dropped into a pot of boiling water for 30 minutes -  it was like they were fresh out of the smoker!  I am definitely hooked on these!!
