Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground sausage (mild or spicy)
• 1 pound bacon
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup bell peppers (finely diced, any color)
• 0.25 cup green onions (chopped)
• 3 tablespoons barbecue rub
• 0.5 cup barbecue sauce (optional, for glazing)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the bacon weave: Lay out a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap and create a 10x10 bacon weave with overlapping strips of bacon.

Step 2

Place the ground sausage on another sheet of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Flatten it into an even rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 3

Spread the cream cheese evenly over the sausage layer, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Step 4

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese, diced bell peppers, and chopped green onions over the cream cheese layer.

Step 5

Carefully roll the sausage into a log, starting from one of the longer sides. Use the plastic wrap to help you roll it tightly and seal the edges by pinching them together.

Step 6

Transfer the sausage log onto the center of the bacon weave. Gently wrap the bacon around the log, making sure it overlaps and seals the sausage inside.

Step 7

Season the outside of the fattie generously with barbecue rub for added flavor.

Step 8

Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C) and add your preferred wood chips (e.g., hickory, applewood, or cherrywood) for smoke.

Step 9

Place the fattie on the smoker grate, seam side down, and smoke for approximately 3 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

During the last 30 minutes of smoking, brush the fattie with barbecue sauce if desired, to give it a caramelized glaze.

Step 11

Once cooked, remove the smoked fattie from the smoker and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing into thick pieces. Serve and enjoy!
