Breakfast Fatty (First Ever)

[Ground Chuck]

Good Morning! I was so inspired a week or two ago by Attjack and his delicious looking fatty that I had to give one a try. I don't think I went nearly as all out as he did with stuffing it, but it was very delicious! Could have used more cheese. The worst part though was as soon as I yanked it off to rest, relatives showed over unexpectedly, and stayed for 50 minutes or so. Happy to report it was still edible .

Also, I wasn't sure the proper protocol as this is my first post. Didn't know if I should piggyback Attjack's post, and risk hijacking, or start a new one, so I decided to play it safe with the latter.


I started making a bacon weave with about 12 ounces of bacon. I believe it was roughly a 6x6 or so:



I then tried mashing some breakfast sausage down in a somewhat even fashion:



I had scrambled some egg beaters and tossed them in next:




I cut off about 1/3 of a block of cheddar and peppered it in there. It looked like a lot more than it should have been:



Rolled up a tight fatty:



Hit it with some Memphis Dust:



After it cooked, which I can't remember the temp, but I think it cruised right around 300 on my Akorn for about an hour, I glazed it with some BB King's bbq sauce:



Unfortunately, I thought I took a pic of the sliced fatty, but can't seem to find it anywhere. I was disappointed that an explosion of cheese didn't cascade out of it, but maybe I rested too long due to our guests.


To make-up for the lack of picture, I thought I'd include a pic of my first ever Key Lime Pie, since I also enjoy baking:



Thanks for taking a look everyone, and go easy on me!!

That looks fantastic! I assume those are little cubes of ham?

[Ground Chuck]

Yes sir! Good catch, forgot to mention the ham!

[Spinaker]

Never thought of this! Great idea!

Congrats on a successful cook.

A thing of beauty is a joy forever. My man Keats said that.

Nice recall from the past. great movie 👍

[Steve B]

Looks dang good to me. Great job. 👍
I got a pound of ground sausage in the freezer waiting for me to try my first one. Hopefully within the next couple of weeks.

[Ground Chuck]

It was fun, man! I thought the bacon weave would be difficult, but wasn't really at all. I'm glad I wore gloves, though. Would have been a mess!

[klflowers]

That is a thing of porkalicious beauty.

[Troutman]

Good looking fatty, they are so much fun to make and serve. But let me say, I'd almost rather just have a slice of that key lime pie...fantastic !!

[texastweeter]

I'll do things a crack head won't for a TRUE key lime pie. Not those neon green imitations.

[Ground Chuck]

Hahahaha, I'm colorblind so hopefully mine isn't too bright!

[RickyBobby]

That fatty looks fantastic!!!!! I’ve really gotta try making one of these one of these days. What kind of wood did you use if any? I’m with Troutman and texastweeter , though. Bring on that gorgeous key lime pie!

[Ground Chuck]

I believe I just used a chunk of cherry this last cook.

[treesmacker]

Yep, keep that hidden from the relatives - you might have to share. I've never made one either, but I'm inspired. Looks like you could put just about any kind of omelette ingredients in there. Great job and pics - thanks!

[Santamarina]

The fatty and the pie look delicious. Definitely need to try making them both!

Do you have a key lime pie recipe you’d like to share?

[Ground Chuck]

Sure, brother! I tried replying to the comment but it was too large. I added a post to page two of this thread .

[Steve R.]

You really can't go wrong with a fatty. It's the thought that counts.

[Oakgrovebacon]

Inspiring me to make one! Looks amazing!

[Sweaty Paul]

Looks delicious!
