How is the best way to roll a fatty I have only made two and have a very hard time rolling it. And I think I am using to much meat. The one I just made was 2lb sausage and 1lb burger
Not sure I am tracking with you ??? But I use plastic wrap to roll and shape them.
I tried wax paper and it suc*ed
I will take some pics of this one if it gets ready
I roll out fatties, like West Coast Kansan, using plastic wrap. After mixing the meat and any seasonings, i plop the meat on a sheet of plastic wrap - waxed paper works too. I roughly form the meat ball into a flat, oblong shape and then place another sheet of wrap over the top. I use a rolling pin to roll it out to about 1/2" thick. Remove the top layer of wrap and add the cheese or whatever. I roll it up using the wrap to help form the roll - peeling off the bottom layer of wrap as i go. Seal up the ends by hand and off you go. Hope that's what you are asking.
Just read your last post and waxed paper worked for me, plastic seems a bit better, tho.
are you having problems with it sticking to the wax paper or is it breaking up when you roll it?
Hmmm maybe the meat got a little warm. If you work the meat a lot and / or it gets warm it will gooo on you. :'( Like grinding stuffing it works cold the best. ;D

Thank you I will try plastic
WCK is on the money here. If the meat is warm from working it too much it wont roll right. When i make my fattys the meat has just come from the frige all seasoned ready to go.
