DH Cooks: Cheeseburger Fatty, Personal Size

In case you’re wondering what a Fatty is, “Essentially a fatty is a sausage meat loaf, stuffed with something and wrapped in bacon,” according to Sizzle on the Grill. DH is a member of their forums, and apparently on Fridays they have a contest to see who can make the best fatty. Here is what DH made today. I make no claims about its healthfulness, localness, etc. Eat at your own risk

I wanted to do something a bit different then I have in the past. So I did this.

1/3 pound ground sirloin (90/10)

1 slice of Chipotle Jack cheese set in the center.

Seasoned with Sea salt, peppercorns (coarse ground) and McCormick’s garlic and onion seasoning.

Wrapped in 6 slices of hardwood smoked bacon and roasted in the SRG for 30 minutes on high and using the Tommy ring with cheery wood chips.

While that was cooking I sauteed a sweet onion, with a mix of Shittake, oyster and mini bella mushrooms and minced garlic.

Topped it with the onion/mushroom mix, Grey Poupon, and Helman’s real mayo on an onion burger bun.

I have to keep it healthy so I added in a small salad too.

Oh yes, the buns. I was privileged to receive some free Nature’s Pride buns from FoodBuzz as part of their Tastemaker program. I received 100% Whole Wheat Bakery Buns, Country White Bakery Buns, and Country White Deli Rolls. I know what you’re thinking. They’re BUNS.

I was pleasantly surprised. They had a good flavor and were firm. Apparently my dogs liked them too, the little counter surfers went right for the whole wheat (which was my favorite )
