single "practice" "fattie"

[grothe]

I don't know if this is considered a "fattie" being it was all beef. I had a package of ground beef in the fridge for a few days that i had to do something with before it went bad. Just figured it be good practice rolling.

Flattened out in ziplock bag - saw this here somewhere, wish I could remember who posted it (would like to give credit and points). Easiest method for me!


Loaded with minced garlic, onion powder, sauted mushrooms, mozz cheese sticks, salt, and pepper.



I roll halfway from one side....


then the other.....


squeeze the heck out of it & wrap n twist


Unwrap, add bacon.


smoked @ 230 til internal of 150. Kinda hard to see - gettin dark out - need more lights in here!


Added sauce while eating. Turned out pretty good for quick n easy.

Looks very much like a fattie to me , meat, stuffing, rolled, smoked.
Real nice job on the bacon lattice btw.

Thanks teeotee!

Wish my bacon was a little longer, or fattie shorter....... wait......no..... it's the bacon's fault!

Points on that bacon weave!

 

[grothe]

Thanx guys! Saw everyone else did weaves so.....

 

[christhompson]

Yeah, great work on the weave. Don't sweat whether it's a fattie or not. Fattie is a state of mind. If it tastes good, who cares what it's called!

i think capt dan posted the deal on rolling with baggie and eme also posted on that method so that prob where it was seen. regardless of method used heck ya that was a fattie... ground meat flattened, filling on top and rolled back up like a jelly roll w ends sealed off=fatty, kinda reminds me of mushroom and swiss i did with elk a while back. bet it was darn good!!!! great job!!!!!
