Bacon Wrapped Sausage Fatty Food

BACON WRAPPED SAUSAGE FATTY

Steps:

• Squeeze a tube of breakfast sausage into a 1 gallon Zip-Loc bag and using your hands, then a rolling pin, work the sausage into a square the fills the entire bag.
• Use a scissors to cut down the seam on each side of the bag and gently pull back the top.
• Layer the rest of the ingredients (except the BBQ rub) on the sausage square, leaving at least an inch of bare sausage on the side so that you can make a "seal" when you roll it up.
• Roll the sausage up, using the bag to assist. The video shows this well. Pinch the ends slightly to hold in the ingredients, then transfer to plastic wrap and roll tightly, spinning the ends of the plastic wrap (again, refer to the video).
• Create a bacon weave by laying down seven slices of bacon side by side on plastic wrap. Remove the even numbered slices. Lay one strip of bacon across one end of the four odd numbed slices, then replace the even numbered slices. Peel back the odd slices and lay another slice of bacon perpendicular to the seven slices. Put the odd slices back and repeat with the even slices. The video does an excellent job showing this.
• Once your bacon weave is complete, lay the sausage fatty on in and using the plastic wrap, wrap the bacon around the fatty. Sprinkle with BBQ rub, and wrap tightly in the plastic. Place in the fridge for 1 hour to firm up.
• Preheat an oven to 300F (or a smoker to 250F). Place the fatty on a wire rack on a cookie sheet (or a rack in your smoker) and cook or smoke until you hit an internal temperature of 170F. This will take 1.5 - 2 hours in the stove or 2 - 3 hours in the smoker, depending on your fillings.
• When the fatty reaches 170F, put it under your broiler to crisp up your bacon weave. You may want to flip the fatty to broil the underside as well, as the bottom bacon can be a little under cooked.
• Remove to cutting board and let sit for at least 5 minutes before cutting and serving.
