First Fattie - Bacon Cheeseburger

[b00kemdano]

Hey folks, I made my first fattie tonight, and it was darn good!

I kept it simple for my first one, I doctored up my ground beef like I normally would for burgers, then I rolled it with some cheddar and onions, wrapped it in bacon, and smoked it.  It took 4 hours to smoke this sucker at between 225* and 240*.  As soon as I lit the durn thing, the rain started, then the wind started... I had a hard time keeping a steady temp.

The possibilities with these things are endless, and I can't wait to try some more complicated fatties!

Your fatty looks delicious!  Gotta love that oozing cheese!

I know what you mean about the possibilities being endless.  Use hoity-toity ingredients, call it a "smoked roulade", and you could even serve it as a starter or main for a fancy dinner! 

Great job!

I have never made a fatty and I am reluctant to give it a try as it appears to make a lot and there is only my wife and I. Do you serve it like a roast or do you store it, slice it and reheat as needed. Help for a poor Canadian who never heard of a Fatty before coming to the forum would be appreciated.

Treat and store is as you would meat loaf, leftovers are a great thing.

I reheat a couple slices for breakfast and eat with a couple of eggs.

I had 2 lbs of ground beef that had been sitting in the fridge and needed to be used.  With 2 lbs of ground beef, 1 lb of bacon, an onion, and a couple handfulls of cheese, my wife and I had dinner, and about 1/3 of it left for lunch today. 

I'm sure you could make one any size you like!

As usual, everyone has given great advice. I will follow your example and give a fatty a try! Thanks for posting your efforts and expanding my horizons.

What about a thick slice on a toasted bun like a traditional burger! Looks great! Good job. I was thinking of doing this recipe like "pig balls" to. Like bacon cheeseburger bites.
