First Fatty Attempt - 2 Pizza Fatties

[Traeger.Rage.BBQ]

All the Fatty talk today kinda got me excited. So I just decide to wing it! I used Johnsonville Italian Brat Meat. One with Spicy and one with Mild.

Made them both pretty similar but I was rushing quite a bit. I learned when shopping for bacon for your weave definitely select the packets with the straightest appearing bacon.

All in all I had a great time prepping. I just wish I had, had more time to slow down and think more about ingredients today. Trying to document the process slowed me down some. I use a coffee grinder to blend up my herbs and species when I am incorporating something. I added extra fennel and Italian herb mix to the meat and also a light dusting of the ingredients setup with a dusting of granulated garlic.


Wavy bacon is not your friend!!!

First weave with the straight bacon!

Both weaves, straight bacon left!

Spicy Italian Brats!

First Roll Out!

These are olives I get from Spain! I used the olives and sliced the garlic cloves from the jar in both Fatties!

Mild Fatty Complete before rolling!

Spicy Fatty before veggies!

Rolled and Ready!

Loaded for Smokey time!

Looks great! I might have my next fatty be a pizza fatty. Are you going to dip in pizza sauce after sliced or no?

 

[Traeger.Rage.BBQ]

I was thinking of just that in fact. We eat Keto so this is 99% Keto. A little bit of surface in the Sauce is the only net carbs in the whole thing.

That was the very first thing my Bride said. We love Italian food but avoid pasta. This could be our regular pizza fix. Which oddly enough would be significantly cheaper than Dominos.

Thanks for stopping in to look and comment.

PS - I am in recovery mode now!

Thank You Kindly!

The Bride was having to do too much work for her daycare and making decorations for the last kiddo’s graduation party. The prep on these things was fun. RUSHED but fun. I can’t wait for she and I to dream up Fatty recipes now.

I have thermo envy.

You’re in good company! Been a tech nerd by interest and I always over tech! I am obsessed with this FireBoard!

The best tech toy I have bought in 10 years likely. Do get you one.

Great color on those fatties, Pat! You'll be eating well tonight!

I'm also having thermo envy... only been waiting on my wifi Meater Block for 2 1/2 years or so! o_O

Now that right there are two awesome looking fatties. Sounds like someone is addicted. Can't wait to see what your next adventure looks like.

Point for sure.

Thank You Kindly Brother!

Your pizza Fatty thread is still getting mileage downstream! Reading @sky monkey’s thread today had me ready to experiment!

This FireBoard is so over teching my needs. It’s the personification of how I approach things I enjoy! I go way beyond the norm. Example, the 2017 Pro 34” has likely surpassed the cost of a Timberline 850 a few mods back. But my unit will cook every possible way I can possibly want. With the exception of charcoal smoking. That particular option is being crafted for the patio as we speak.

HAHAHA... See. It’s an obsession to be sure!

Thanks again to you both for today’s inspiration. I can only hope my first Fatty did you fellas proud.

Chris,

Thank You Kindly Brother!

I sincerely appreciate the Point! I for one sure wish I had been around the board when points were still a thing! But I likely would have been in trouble for awarding ‘Monkey Balls’! HAHAHA...
