"Micro Fatties" ?

A bit ago, someone posted about making tiny little fatties for appetizers.
For the life of me, I can not find the post--sorry :redface:
Got me to thinking though.

I need "horse de serves" for a neighborhood gathering next month. One neighbor can not eat pork for health reasons.
So, I did the "Micro Fatties" (my name for them) my way :lol:
Plan was to cook and then cut in half for serving to show the filling.

My standard stuffing is--cream cheeze, tex mex cheeze, fine chopped peppers, onions, various meats, garlic, spices, and basically what ever looks good and needs to come out of the pantry or refrig :lol:

Most were JD Maple stuffed with bacon wrapping.
Some were just stuffed hamburger (15 % fat).
A couple of variations in-between.

Lessons learned.
Works wonderful ! :lol:
Hamburger needs a "kick" in flavor from some spices!
Need to buy "really thin" sliced bacon next time and wrap it around the Micro Fattie instead of "end-to-end".

I am sure there are a thousand variations to this! Ain't BBQ grand :lol:

OH--cook time at mid 200's was somewhere around 1.5 hours.

Wish I could take pics like ThirdEye--sorry :redface:

Great fun!

Those look great. How long do you think it took you to put each one together.

I can see the overall time add up quick to make enough for a party.

I "have not the foggiest" as to time :redface:

Like everything else we do in cooking--time is a relative thing :lol:

I made these the day before cooking/testing. Best guess--an hour or so.
Next time for the same amount--maybe 45 minutes.
The time after that--probably 30 minutes.
The next time--train Karen and she will do them in 10 minutes flat :redface:

Just funnin' :lol:

Lke anythng else--practice trims the time.

Worth the effort to me.

Look great! I've never made them wrapped in bacon but I love making little fatties, aka shorties, for guests! Need to add some bacon I think...
