Life is so much better after you have mastered the art if smoking a savory "Fatty". 
​A fatty is basically some sort of ground beef or sausage rolled up in a bacon weave and smoked. And when you want to get fancy - you stuff it with additional goodies. In this recipe we use wagyu ground beef but you can just as easily use ground sausage. And we stuff it with cheese, jalapenos and of course, more bacon....because everything tastes better with more bacon!!

Start by chopping the jalapenos and the chives and mix in a bowl. You want to chopped it very finely so that the chees mixture with be even and smooth.

Add the cream cheese and Mexican cheese mix to the bowl and mix thoroughly. When you have it all mixed up, pour the mixture onto some saran or plastic wrap and shape the cheese mixture like a log. Put in refrigerator to cool. This will stiffen up the cheese mix and make it easier to place and roll later. 

Mix the ground wagyu beef, the beef concentrate and 2 Tbs of the Big Swede BBQ Badass Beef Boost in a bowl. Set aside. Make a bacon weave with the thick-cut bacon. Spread the ground beef mixture onto the bacon weave. Try to have the same thickness throughout the weave. Leave about an inch uncovered on each side.

Spread an even layer of BBQ sauce onto the beef layer. Sauté the regular bacon and spread evenly on top of the BBQ sauce layer. Unwrap and place the cheese in the middle of the bacon weave. Make sure that you at least have three inches on each side of the log so you are able to wrap it tight and fully enclose the cheese mix. If not, cheese will spray out of both ends like a volcano when you smoke the fatty.

Roll up the bacon weave to create the bacon log. Make sure that you seal the ends carefully (remember the volcano). Sprinkle more Big Swede BBQ Badass Beef Boost onto the log. Set smoker for 300 degrees F and use a fruitwood as fuel. Apple, Cherry or Peach all works great. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 160. Baste with BBQ sauce to create a nice glaze and continue smoking the fatty until the internal temperature reaches 165. Set aside a let rest for 15 minutes. Slice and serve on a burger bun or on a plate with creamy potato salad. Enjoy the Fatty experience!!
