Looking at making a fattie.

[ab canuck]

    I have been watching and reading posts on fatties for awhile now. I want to make 1 and feed the family, so I have some questions for our fellow fattie makers.

  So does anyone have a recipe or a guideline on making a fattie? How big to make it or how many people it could feed? How thick should I make the patty? What to stay away from spice, filling or smoke wise?  Any input or guidance would be appreciated. Thx. Charlie

Hi Charlie,

You can use just about anything you want in a fattie.

I like to start with 1 1/4 lbs of sausage, and just roll it out in a 1 gallon zip lock bag.

Here's a thread on making one that may help you.

Watch out......you and the family are gonna be hooked on Fatties!! The combinations are endless!!

I like to do a 50/50 mix of sausage and ground beef.

There's a few ways to go about making a fatty. A few tips:

1. Go light on the fillings don't go overboard

2. Use thin cut bacon and stretch the bacon.

3. get creative!
