My first fatties

[mrmodine]

Again, many thanks to all but especially...Nepas!

After seeing all the talk about fatties, I had to try me a pair.



Used the Nepas recipe for seasoning and cure and went with 1lb ground beef and 1 lb plain pork sausage.  I also wrapped in bacon which I probably won't do the next time.  I think the bacon absorbed too much of my hickory.



Anyway, smoked for 2.5 hours on hickory and then cooked at 225 til done.



Pics attached.  No pics included of my neighbors begging for more after the free samples.  I think I need to start dealing!

Oh my my my.  Don't those look absolutely, dripping off the chin, staining your tee-shirt, goooood!!!  Nice job mrm, might have to try me some of those soon.  Bet they go good with a tall, cold, barley flavored beverage.

NePa is the "Fattie King"!!

Did you stuff them? Can't tell by the pic? I usually go a wee bit hot with the stuffing...like jalepenos...chedder...innocuous colorful peppers...and some Iceman sauce...yum...

The beauty of fatties...is you can tailor them to your own taste!!

Here is one of Nepas      http://forum.bradleysmoker.com/index.php?topic=6801.0 

LQ -   like the sound of your stuffing - going to have to put it on the list (the list that grows faster than I have time to smoke )

Hey Deb...many use other ingredients...I like a veggie stuff...kinda lightens up the sausage and bacon....I also use hot sausage...like to make the hubby think twice!!!! He is a trooper!!! :) If I make it...he eats it!!! (Oh...I do ask to him comment on the flavor)!!! I'm not a total beast!!! :)

[mrmodine]

I didn't stuff them this time.  Might try it sometime though...maybe cheese and pepperoni or something like that.

I'm kind of a wimp for the spice...my stomach pays me back in spades when I push it.

I've got 8lbs of salmon brining now and will smoke over alder tonight.  Then, ready for the boston butt shoulder this weekend.

I am going to try these this weekend but I would like to use venison. Do you think it will be too dry?

Most recipes I mix pork with it when substituting it in but I would prefer not to mix.


.....looks like some more experimenting will be needed.

Buck,
I did some fatties using 100% very lean venison.  While they were very tasty, they did get pretty dry after they had set for a few minutes.  I understand not wanting to mix but you might give it another thought.  Either way, they will still taste awesome.  Maybe just wrap in bacon the way mrmodine did?

Or just mix in some pork fat...? Or probably more appropriate a beef fat? The only reason I suggest beef is it's a "red" meat...
