BBQ Brethren "Fatty" Throwdown

[bigabyte]

That's a beautiful naked fatty. It takes courage to show it off like that. Maybe the "Save the Fatty" coalition will give you some sort of award or something?

I don't know about an award since Ron L is on probation from the society for his entry but I just wanted to participate since I like you guys so much... And courage is no problem after some of the awful entries I've done. I figured if I set the bar really low for myself I'll never fail.

You could photoshop it onto an interesting background or something. Make it "pop".

oh

my

Gawd....

Just wandered into this thread. I wish I had more than $7 dollars in the bank, I would make a copy of every one of these entries, take to work as a buffet, and claim them as my own....

Amazing stuff, folks!!!

I wish I could help Bro... but I was too pissed to participate after spending all day cooking BBQ and they ate Empanadas with ground beef and never tried the Q. My wife has zero culinary skills... too bad too after having parents from Chile, born in the Bronx, grew up in Puerto Rico, and finally residing in Alabama after leaving Atlanta when she figured out it is not such a scary place for non-rednecks.

I highly recommend you take a look at the "fried" throwdown. There were some empanadas as well as a bacon weave (deluxe fatty) with a fried crust. You could still go several directions with layering and such.

I saw a picture on facebook the other day of what appeared to be a beef gravy casserole something topped with vanilla bean ice cream. Sounds sick, but made me think of Antarctica. This site is incredibly filled with creative and exceptional cooks!! Keep it coming for those of us that don't have a lot of time at times.

I was in the mood for sausage and sauerkraut for the last week or so and when I saw that this week’s throwdown was fattys; I thought I’d turn things inside out. I ground my own sausage, seasoned with sage, thyme and rosemary from my garden. Salt, sugar and cilantro too.

I sautéed some onion and some julienned apples, drained some sauerkraut, and ground a bit of leftover buckboard bacon.

I put the onions on first, then the apples.

Then a layer of sauerkraut followed by the ground bacon and some more apples.

Here it is on the smoker with some country style ribs.

And here it is off the smoker after a short rest.

Thanks for looking!

Man, oh man! That one really turned on the mouth faucets.

[Grabnabber]

Wow, GREAT entries!

I am not worthy.... I am not worthy....

[MOS95B]

I can't stand sauerkraut, yet still - wow!! You may have changed my mind...

I am submitting this picture. It is either a Fatet Mignon or a MignOINK, depending on your point of view. Master describes it fully in his show:

That's quite an impressive entry there.

I presume we are awaiting word from the IMBAS as to whether it is MignOINK?

I think Fatet Mignon has a good ring to it. Kind of brings this cut down to a certain level of redneckery. Perhaps served with some Cheez Whiz on the side to really put the tramp stamp on it?

It looks delicious! I will definitely be making one of those once I know what to call it, and what to serve it with.

Cheez Whiz! Fark, I knew I was forgetting something!

Spaghetti Fatty with MOINK Balls

I am just so glad that I got this done in time. Now I am not one to be intimidated, especially by another girl. But, Miss ecode after looking at your entry I had to think this over just a little bit.

So here goes.

My guy has this really good friend, and Saturday night is Spaghetti Night. Now how on earth am I going to turn a Fatty into Spaghetti?

So I roasted a red pepper!






Then I got most of the things I would use for Spaghetti. Mushrooms, Onion, Italian seasoning, Mozzarella, Sauce. But pasta? Why not some of those big wide thingys they use for Lasagna? Yes! Sausage, and meatballs? No MOINK balls

So I sliced and chopped and laid out the Sausage in a square. Then I put on the noodles, boiled them first, and added all the rest.



Put the fatty on my BIG Smokey thingy and waited for the magic to happen.







Three hours later at a firm 225 it was ready. Oh yeah I put the balls on for just the last hour, have to be careful with them.

Here is how it looked.



And then sliced open. What a thing of beauty!




Served slices with the MOINK balls, some ziti and a Caesar salad.

I just have to say that our friend could not believe his eyes when I served this up.

Spaghetti?? This? But then it was time for seconds, and even thirds! Ahh, Spaghetti & MOINK balls, what a feast we all had.

I'm not sure which picture is the best so I'll just let y'all decide.

And thank y'all soooo much for letting me join in the fun!

[Gore]

Great entry CG! Looks delicious! I think spaghetti was the first fattie I ever made. Yours looks much better though.

[bigabyte]

Dang Campfire Girl, that looks tasty! I love the lasagna noodle idea, perfect for a fatty. And the MOINK just tops it off! It's so hard to say anything about the handling of this entry, the noodle, fatty, or the balls without it perhaps sounding a bit too off-color for perhaps myself and others I know that frequent here, so I'll just leave simply saying that this entry looks delicious!
