Hate to revive old threads but ... We just got back from Gatlinburg vacation. Wife and I talked about fatty's the whole way back, bout 7 hour drive. She is going to take over making them, I just get to smoke it. She picked up some ground chuck and wants to use that with a bacon wrap. She is planning on mixing chuck just like she normally does when making hamburgers. Couple eggs, some hand crushed ritz crackers, diced onions, once flattened out, she is tossing on cheese, mushrooms and a rub. She picked up some thick cut bacon and will do a weave with more rub sprinkled over that. We did thick cut bacon before and it didnt crisp enough but she plans on using broiler for a couple minutes. The thin cut bacon just doesnt give her the flavor. I guess when done, I will need some hamburger buns,, this sounds like a great bacon,cheese and mushroom burger :) Will post some qviews when done.
