Been wanting to make a fatty for a long time, just never seemed to get around to it, but that finally changed. To begin with want to say a big thanks to
gmc2003
for his step by steps he posted, made it simple! Being the first ones didn't know if we wanted to use all burger or sausage so split the difference. Started with 2 lbs venison and about 3/4 lb Dakota sausage (Owen's bbq) and mixed the two together and divided in half. Got the meat rolled out, one with mushrooms, onions, bacon bits, and smoked cheddar and muenster cheese
The second one the same minus the mushrooms. This was for our son that just recently moved out. And yes, my wife did the toppings...she wouldn't let me, we both knew if I did them I wouldn't get them closed!
Here they are all wrapped up and ready for a stay in the fridge. Did season them with some of Jeff's rub and famous Dave's...after they were rolled, next time will season them before rolling. And of course, had to get the feet too!
Didn't take many pics cuz I honestly hadn't planned on posting this, in case of epic failure. Smoked in mes 30 with pitmasters choice to an IT of 165. Here they are out of smoker and resting
In above pic my wife and mine on the right (my bacon weave) and son's on the left (Shelly's bacon weave) we were both impressed for our first time.
Below an inside look
Have to say these turned out excellent! Could have probably used more stuffing but not wanting to overstuffed, went on the light side. We also seasoned outside of bacon with more Jeff's rub and famous Dave's.
This pic was actually for our son but thought I'd throw it in too. He wanted some special K bars and a couple tools. Yes, I did get some bars...but less than half lol
Thanks for looking!
