Making Fattys

Okay – you seen the term on every smoke site on the internet but just what IS a Fatty? I Fatty is a big thick breakfast sausage, sometimes called a chunk sausage. It’s usually about 3-1/2 to 4 inches in diameter and about 7 or 8 inches long. The favorite of most smokers I know is the Jimmy Dean sausage! I personally love the hot ones best! Yummmmmmmm!

You can simply unwrap the sausage and smoke it (1^st photo)– remember this is pork so smoke it to an internal temperature of at least 160°F if you plan on eating it now – trust me you will eat at least one NOW! Throw several on the smoker they don’t last long. If you plan on reheating it later for breakfast or a snack you can pull it off the smoker sooner.

You can roll it in you favorite rub (2^nd and 3^rd photo) or stuff it with you favorite veggies and cheese (4th photo).

Again there’s no limit to what you can do wit a fatty. Like breakfast sandwiches but always is a rush? Make them in advance and just throw one or two in the microwave on you way to work! Here are a few more of my favorite ways to eat fattys:

Stuffed With grated Cheddar Cheese, diced Peppers, Chopped Onions, chopped mushrooms and topped with eggs.

How about stuffed into a Pillsbury crescent roll, sprinkled with shredded apples, cheddar cheese, rolled and sprinkled with cinnamon? Or maybe a cooked fatty stuffed with cheddar, eggs, onions, mushrooms and red peppers and rolled into a biscuit dough?

Get the idea? You can do anything with a fatty!
