Fatties

I had Cheese leak out of one pretty good. Does anyone know if that is normal or did I do something wrong?

Awesome looking bigcatdaddy!

I don't think it is possible to do anything wrong to a fatty. Looks awfully good to me but if you're concerned, feel free to make some more and ship them to me and I will be happy to give you my personal verdict. :D

Sorry to be so clueless, but I've done a search on this forum and the internet, and I can't find out what it is. Could somebody give me a definition and, hopefully, a recipe?

Thanks.

The second one is no longer. It went down as good as the first. I think maybe a breakfast one or two are in order the next round!!!

Sorry, BCD. KY is correct.......not necessary, but it does help with shrinkage. I've done them both ways and like the powdered milk's effect on the fatties but PM is certainly not necessary.

Didn't mean to freak you out :D

How exactly do you use the powered milk? Do you mix it with the ground meat or do you just sprinkle it on top? What quantity do you use per pound of meat?

Smoking Duck · July 07, 2008, 11:33:53 AM

I mix it in with the ground meat. It's more of a feel thing than an actual quantity. I always start with just a little and keep going until I get the consistency I'm looking for.

Nepas can probably give you a more quantitative amount, but if I remember correctly, I used about 1/2 cup to 1 cup for the 5 lbs I did last time I made them.

I think SD has it. A lot of sausage recipes call for up to 1 cup of powdered skim milk per 5 lbs. I would think it wouldn't be any different for fatties. You just mix it right into the meat. It helps bind the meat together and also helps retain it's natural juices.

Also if you mix the powdered milk with a bit of low sodium beef broth first then mix it in the meat it will keep that moisture in the fatty too. ;)

Good tip Ice

I have used with a cup or two water before but I've never used beef broth before. I will have to give that a shot.
