I was somewhat inspired to try this after watching Steve Raichlan's "Project Smoke" version which he called a Tulsa Torpedo.
First, a question .... What makes a fatty a fatty? Most of the versions I've seen use some sort of sausage, breakfast, or other, as the roll meat. My supermarket didn't have ground sausage, so I bought a blend ground pork, veal and beef. Will this combo work, and is this still a fatty? I don't really care if it is or not, mainly just want it to taste good!
For the inside, I bought some brats, and pepper jack cheese. Was planning on doing a bacon weave as well.
Is this gonna be good?
Also, on Steve Raichlan's recipe, he calls for 2-2.5 lbs of ground sausage. But seems most other people use only a pound. The meat blend I bought was in 1.5 lb pacakges, so I bought two. Not sure how big I should make this thing. Is 2 lbs too big for one fatty?
Thanks!
