The title says it all. Most of the family gathered at our home had never heard of fatties, much less had them before. These were probably the most photographed fatties I have ever made haha. Needless to say, they were a big hit.
The mac-n-cheese with 1 pound of Jimmy Dean Hot Sausage (drained) also had 2 cans of Rotel-Original. This is good stuff whether in a fatty or on a plate!
I prepped these the night before. It took an hour to weave the bacon and roll the sausage and make the sausage-mac-n-cheese.
Stuffing it was easy. I added 4 pieces of Colby-Jack per fatty as required by Federal Law...because sausage-mac-n/cheese still needs more cheese.
Wrapped up and headed to the fridge the night before Thanksgiving.
Popped in the smoker at 275F at noon...
The oven was a little backed up so my wife made me keep these in the smoker until 2:00 until all the casseroles were done. Internal temp was 165F when I pulled them.
Three done fatties...
Money shot.
