Here's one of the recipes I use for Fatties, I cook them all the time at events.
1 large Package of Jimmy Dean Sausage (Typically I get these from Costco or Sam's)
1 Onion, sweet or regular
1 jar of jalepeno's
1 bag of Mexican Blend Cheese
I roll out the sausage on Wax paper so that it's flat.
I then put in the middle the chopped onion, chopped jalepeno's and grated cheese.
Then, using the wax paper, I roll the sausage back up making sure everything fits inside and it closes up all around and on the ends.
I then smoke it for about a hour until I see the cheese start oozing out.
cut into about 1 inch pieces and serve. TASTY.
I have also seen people put bacon around the outside and when the bacon is done, the fattie is done. I have not yet tried it like this yet, but it did look tasty.
The great thing about the fatties, is that you can put anything in the middle, garlic, olives, bell pepper, etc. There just is no wrong way.
Let me know if you try this one out and how you like it.
