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

West Coast Kansan

Not sure I am tracking with you  ??? But I use plastic wrap to roll and shape them.

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

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.
