I wanted to cook a breakfast fatty but decided against taking a loan out to buy some eggs. I had all the other ingredients on hand to make a pizza fatty. This one cooked faster because I could not roll it closed. I over stuffed with cheese, onions, and pepperonis. It cooked pretty quickly compared to my cheeseburger fatty. It was very delicious according to my coworker. He is my test dummy while I get used to the new smoker. I used skewers to try to hold it together. It didn't work so well hence the FLATTY.

I would eat that!
I would too, if I had a bit more info on what it is!
My apologies. I am new to the fatties. I assumed this was a known cook. I used one pound of regular bacon, one pound of mild sausage, 1/2 of a white onion, a lot of mozzarella cheese, and marinara sauce. It just went flat because it was not rolled properly.
One more thing. I dry rubbed with salt, pepper, and garlic.
Looks like a good start.
Lately when doing fatties I have used a piston and I think it really helps.
Here is a link to a description of a fatty and piston...
I'll have to look into that. I also saw a silicone mat that was grated like a grill grate that you can just wrap and cook with.
mountainman, thanks for that link! I've never done a fatty, and that device looks like it is worth its weight in gold! On that particular recipe (and others similar bacon-wrapped), I'd use pre-cooked bacon in my SM066 which doesn't go above 300F. The use of the zip bag to get an even thickness of sausage is genius. I usually cut back my smoking in the winter, but I may make an exception to try something like that. At least I can work on the piston.

I use Frogmats in my cookshack smoker for many things for many things...........They are great!
Yes. Frogmats. I could not remember the name.
Frogmats are great. Seafood, chicken wings, almonds (my most frequent use), easy to scrub or just put in the dishwasher. Worth every penny.
