Are you a fan of bold, smoky flavors and the perfect balance of sweet and heat? Then you're in for a real treat with this ultimate BBQ fatty recipe. As a two-time World BBQ Champion and two-time BBQ Hall of Fame Inductee, I've perfected the art of crafting mouthwatering BBQ creations, and this fatty is no exception.
Introducing the BBQ Fatty
A BBQ fatty is a delightful fusion of breakfast sausage and your favorite BBQ flavors, all wrapped up in a smoky, savory package. It's the ultimate comfort food that's perfect for any occasion, from backyard barbecues to game day gatherings.
Choosing the Right Ingredients
The key to a truly exceptional BBQ fatty lies in the quality of the ingredients. That's why I always recommend using Butcher BBQ's award-winning sauces, rubs, and meat injections. Their products are crafted with the finest spices and seasonings, ensuring that every bite is bursting with flavor.
The Sausage
Start with a high-quality breakfast sausage as the base. You can use either pork or turkey sausage, depending on your preference. If you're feeling adventurous, you can even mix and match different types of sausage to create a unique flavor profile.
The Rubs and Seasonings
Next, it's time to add the signature Butcher BBQ touch. Coat the sausage in their premium rub, which features a blend of savory spices and a touch of brown sugar for a perfect balance of sweet and heat. For an extra layer of flavor, you can also try their maple rub or 5 Alarm Honey rub, depending on your taste preferences.
The Wrapping
To keep the fatty moist and juicy, you'll want to wrap it in a layer of bacon. This not only adds a delicious smoky flavor but also helps to seal in all the juices. Then for a double flavor bomb reapply your Butcher BBQ rub to the out side of the bacon.
Assembling the BBQ Fatty
Now, let's get to the fun part – assembling the fatty! Start by laying out the sausage on a flat surface and remove the package. Sprinkle the Butcher BBQ rub of your choice over the sausage, making sure to coat it evenly.
Next, carefully roll the sausage to pack the spices into the surface of the sausage. Wrap the bacon around the sausage, overlapping the slices slightly to ensure a complete coverage.
Cooking the BBQ Fatty
Preheat your smoker or grill to 225°F (107°C) and place the fatty directly on the grates. Smoke the fatty for about 2-3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Be sure to baste the fatty with Butcher BBQ's award-winning sauces during the last 30 minutes of cooking to create a delicious, caramelized glaze.
Flavor Variations
Once you've mastered the basic BBQ fatty, you can start experimenting with different flavor combinations. Try rolling the sausage in a blend of Butcher BBQ's chicken and waffle rub for a sweet and savory twist, or go for the 5 Alarm Honey rub for a spicy kick.
For a classic breakfast-inspired fatty, use their standard breakfast sausage and coat it in the maple rub. The sweet and smoky flavors will transport you to a cozy morning filled with the aroma of freshly grilled sausage.
Serving and Enjoying
When the fatty is ready, let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing into it. Serve it up with your favorite sides, such as baked beans, coleslaw, or a fresh salad. Don't forget to have plenty of Butcher BBQ's signature sauces on hand for dipping and drizzling.
Whether you're hosting a backyard bash or just looking for a delicious meal, this ultimate BBQ fatty is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. So fire up your smoker or grill, and get ready to experience a flavor explosion that will have your taste buds dancing with joy.
Happy grilling!
