First of all let me say that I have an electric smoker. I know that is not the norm here but that's the way it is. ::)

Well got around to doing my 1st Fattie today. Used some hot sausage that I got from a pork shop. Put some scrambled eggs, onions, and potatoes (cooked together) and added some of those frozen hash-browns in strips and some cheddar cheese. It came out fine except that the sausage overpowered the flavor of everything else. gonna try ground beef next time. Feel free to critique the looks of it. Good or bad will only help make the next one better.

Rolled and setting on the grill ready to smoke.


After about 3 1/2 hrs. Don't know what temp it cooked at as the smoker doesn't have a temp gauge. Took it off at 163.


Put it in the oven to crisp up the bacon. These are the cut pieces.


Also did some Candied Bacon in the over. Pics are a little darker than they really came out. Man were they good.

OK, is that bacon on the fattie really wide or is the fattie or smoker really small!  If that is really wide bacon, where on earth did you find it because I need some!!  :D  We made one for the game today and you can't go wrong with them!  It looks great and now you'll want to experiment with everything and anything you have in the fridge!

The bacon is thick center cut from Costco. Came out to be 4 lbs in 2 diff packages. The fattie was about 11 inches long.
Rolled it up tight in saran wrap. Think that is why it came out so round.

How did you candy the bacon?  Was it good?

Try half sausage and half ground beef. That way the sausage flavor is there but not overpowering
