Last weekend, my football team, the BC Lions, were playing in the Canadian Football League quarter finals. A buddy came over and we watched a couple of games while smoking a Pizza Fatty. The Pizza Fatty was good. The game was bad. The Lions had their posteriors kicked. Sigh.

Of course, you can't watch a game without snacks. I went for a charcuterie plate, a cheese plate and crackers. The meats are capicollo, Bears snack logs and home made pastrami cut thick. The cheeses are Extra old cheddar, old cheddar, Irish mild edam, and garlic herbed cheese.


Between games we put the fatty together. The toppings were homemade pizza sauce, chopped pepperoni, green pepper mushrooms, capicollo and mozarella cheese.


I put two pounds of lean ground beef in a one gallon Ziplock bag with the corners cut out. I rolled it out evenly and cut the bag off.




I turned the beef out onto wax paper and put the topping on leaving space around the edges to seal the fatty when rolled.




Using the wax paper to help, I rolled the fatty and sealed the seam and edges.



Next I made my bacon weave.




I put the fatty on the weave and rolled it up.


Onto a rack an into the Bradley for 3 hours at 230 F over pecan smoke.




Sliced it up and served it with salad, coleslaw and rolls.





The Verdict:

This was my first pizza fatty and I really enjoyed it. I would add more pizza sauce next time and would put some pizza seasonings in the beef. I will be making it again despite the trauma of eating it after the Lions were humiliated!

I dont care if you claim it.

I just wonder if it would affect the bacon getting crispy.

With the slow cooking time to reduce the sauce, I wouldn't think so. I will give it a try next time.
 
I might just serve some extra sauce on the side for dipping.

If you like Italian sausage (hot or not) you could mix the spices into the ground beef before rolling to give it that flavor without the heart attack.
 
 
Man I seem to be missing all the great smokes lately! Nice fatty, great tutorial Disco!

Disco,

First off that is a MASTERPIECE in my opinion and now I'm starving and MUST try this soon. Can you tell me how many packs of bacon you used? My guess is two packages... I am also trying to figure out the whole weave of the bacon and how long it should be to actually roll the meat log (for lack of a better term) in the bacon weave.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Tony
 
I only used one pack but I used every slice. 

The size of my weave depends on the length of the bacon slices. I lay one slice down and lay cross pieces on it until I cover the whole slice. I have done a weave that is as little as seven by seven and one that is nine by nine. This one was eight by eight and was perfect. 

If you get short bacon and it is only seven by seven, don't worry if it doesn't wrap all the way around the fatty. As long as the gap is on the bottom, no one will notice.

Trust me, the weave is easy. Just do a square one and whatever size it turns out will be fine.

Make everyone happy and get lots of feedback. Do a post of your fatty with pictures!

Back from the dead...

AWESOME pics! This is how it should be done!

Very well done!
 
Nice job on the fatty. I bet your Lions are doing better than my Detroit Lions.
