Sorry no Q-view, I am horrible at remembering to get out the camera when I should.
My second attemt at a fattie was this weekend. My first was a few weeks back where I had done a standard pizza fattie that turned out really good, but was a little rich for some people and was more of an appetizer than a meal. My goal for this one was to make a meal out of it.
I went shopping with my fiance for ingredients, telling her that we would try to make a milder one. We settled on the outside being a 50/50 combo of ground pork and ground beef. For filling, we decided to coat the inside with a peach mango salsa (not my kinda thing, but for cooking though it might be ok) caramelized onions, and mexican 4 cheese belnd.
Forming it was a little more difficult than the sausage was, but that may have been because I did a bigger one at 2 lbs. It took about 4 hours to smoke it.
Brought it down to a neighbors house for dinner since he is laid up after surgery and has been eating hot pockets or other nasty stuff all week. The combination of flavors was excellent with the fruity salsa lending both a nice tart and a little kick, and the onions were very sweet. It made a very good meal and my neighbor ate about half of it in one sitting.
I am glad I finally tried these since you really can do just about anything with them. I look forward to experimenting more, and hopefully providing some pics next time.
