then let it chill....
fried potato cubes, onions and ham in some butter, cooled and added shredded cheese and minced japapeno pepper for a slight kick... also seasoned with salt and pepper to taste.
used my fattie piston.....
filled the fatty piston with the potato, ham, onion, cheese stuffing and packed it down with the piston rod...
After chilling the stuffing, I rolled out the meat mixture, then eased the filling on top..
made a bacon weave mat...to wrap around the fattie....
sprinkled with cracked black pepper and into my horizontal wood burner......
smoked for about 4 hours......
I placed a slice of potato, ham, onion, cheese fattie on a hot biscuit half, topped with a poached egg and smothered in creamy gravy.....
I liked it.........a lot :)

Wow Jeanie - As you know, I love breakfast food and this looks absolutely perfect. If I leave now and drive straight through, I may be able to make it by breakfast tomorrow. Will you share your cream gravy recipe?
pure culinary artistry ... period. end of story.
That is a thing of beauty. If it tasted half as good as it looks, it must have been fantastic!
Haha.. Dan, I wondered what that sound was. :)
Hope you are getting some snow...I know how you all hate to sit around with nothing to do. lol
Thanks Dan!
Dude, thanks!! I love breakfast too. If you hurry, I could whip up a plate for ya. :)
As for the gravy, I use what ever meat drippings I have on hand, (even bacon drippings)..then add a couple tablespoons of flour, cook for a few minutes, add milk or cream, season with salt and lots of pepper and a bit of cayenne.
That's the basic way, you can add other seasonings to spice it up.
It's nothing fancy, just pan gravy.
Thanks Dude. :)
Chez.... Thanks. (((HUG))) :)
Zydeco! Good to see you too. :)
It was tasty.... at least I thought it was. lol
Thank you!!
Wow, we've made those before but not put potatoes in the middle...now that's a great idea. I better eat something before I go to the store or I'll come home with a truck load. Yum, cowgirl, yum.
Thank you Mrs JP! I like potatoes and the ham was tasty too..
If you put scrambled eggs in the center it would be a self contained fattie. :)
Have a good day shopping!
hey Jeanie, again: just so amazing! said it before, I need to come by more often, sorry.... you´re doing ok? speak to you soon again, bye bye
Hi Hanneke, it's good to see you. I need to make it to the forum more often too. :)
I'm doing fine, hope you are too!
Thank you!
Like Mrs JP said, I have made this before but not with potatoes. I will have to give this a shot!
Tim I like them with corned beef hash filling too... there are just so many options.
Hope you have fun experimenting with them. :)
Neat...I gotta make up one of those pistons. Looks pretty darn easy! Beauty plate as always :{)
Rich, it's good to see ya. :)
I have to laugh when I remember back to the beginning....
We sure did catch heck about you nominating me to the OTBS. lol

Hi, This is awesome, I recreated it at my house and would like to add a link to your site so I can give dcredit where it is due. Is this OK with you?
Dave that's great! I hope the fattie turned out well for you. Feel free to add my link.. I appreciate it! :)
Thank you...
What is the portions of ground beef to Pork do you use, and do you used seasoned pork or just plain ground pork?
Hi Penner!
On this fattie, I used about 1/2 beef to 1/2 ground pork. The pork wasn't seasoned, just straight ground pork. (fat included)
This fattie was from about one year ago and I've tried several combinations since then and usually use at least half and half when mixing with beef or even ground venison.
Straight ground pork can be used too.. Most people just make fatties out of a 1lb chub of hot sausage.
I like to experiment with mine.
Good luck with them! :)
I have been smoking meat for over 5 years now and just came across a fattie. I cannot belive that I have been missing out on this mouth watering food. As soon as I have time this will be the first thing I smoke. I am planning all sorts of variations!
I think you will like them Penner!
The original fatty was just a chub of sausage smoked but they have morphed. :)
I have a few others posted here on my blog... the fillings are endless.
Good luck! :)
Hi cowgirl, it's been awhile since we've talked.
I just came acroos your blog again and was looking at your "breakfast fattie", where did you get that piston fattie?
Craig Chamberlain
It's good to see you Craig! :)

Hope all is well with you. :)
