A fatty is what I call the meat loafs better looking sister. Here is a rundown on how to make one...
First is thing I do is grab my supplies:
- One pound of ground meat of choice (usually sausage or burger)
- One gallon zip lock bag
- Parchment paper
- Cling wrap
- One pound of bacon (I prefer thick cut and heavily peppered)
- Fixings for the middle which always includes a cheese of some type
- Rolling pin
- Smoker (you can use a grill or the oven if needed)
- Roasting dish with wire rack
- Meat thermometer
Pre-heat whatever cooking device that floats your taste buds boat. While that is warming up or settling on temp I prepare the "roll". First thing is to place the meat in a one gallon freezer bag. Roll out ground meat in the bag to make a square.
Once rolled out I cut half the bag off and place the ground, now flat and square burger on parchment paper. Set it aside.
Now it is time to make a bacon weave. You can look up how to do this but it is hard to type out. If anyone is interested let me know and I can walk through it. Here is what it looks like when complete. Place it on parchment paper also.
Now place your innards of your choosing. For this one I used swiss cheese and mushrooms.
Roll up the meat roll using the parchment paper to help. Should look like this:
More to come in a sec...
