Try making a savory fatty on your pellet grill!
Check out these tasty fatty recipes from one of our Grill Masters! You may use any toppings you wish and be as creative as you like; the possibilities are endless. Here are a few of our ideas:
When you’re ready to start, start the pellet grill on smoke with the lid open until the fire is established (usually takes 4-5 minutes) and then close the lid.
Creating the Bacon Weave
To begin, while grill is preheating, construct a bacon lattice weave. Line up 6-8 strips of bacon vertically (I did 7), so they are touching. Starting from the right side, fold every other strip of bacon back onto itself. Lay down a strip of bacon horizontal over the flat strips. Unfold the folded bacon back over the new horizontal slice. Starting from the top, fold back every other slice that wasn’t previously folded down. Lay down another slice horizontally over the flat strips. Repeat this process until you have a tight square of woven bacon, as shown above.
Pizza Fatty
1 lb thick sliced bacon
2 lbs ground Italian sausage
4 oz Mozzarella cheese
Any pizza topping of your choice (example pepperoni, black olives, onion, peppers, mushrooms etc)
After making your bacon weave, spread the ground Italian sausage out, making a large rectangle about ½ inch thick. Evenly sprinkle the ingredients on top of the meat rectangle. Roll up, similar to a cinnamon roll. Place the fatty in the center of the bacon weave. Tightly wrap in bacon weave. Place on grill on smoke for 1 hour. Turn heat up to 250 and cook 2 additional hours or until internal temp reaches 165°F.
Let the fatty rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Slice and enjoy!
