The Porkinator

A few years ago, we made a fattie, and couldn't have been more happy with how it turned out. But this year, we improved it. More pig, and a whole lot more attitude. This time around, we used the opinions of others to tweak the recipe and make it more flavorful. WE PROMISE YOU, THIS IS NOT SOMETHING YOU WANT TO PASS UP TRYING!!!




Ingredients:

1. 1 1/2 lbs. unseasoned ground pork.......NOT SAUSAGE!
2. 2 lbs. bacon (we used original Hormel Black Label)
3. Sliced peperoni
4. 1 yellow bell pepper
5. 1 red onion
6. about 9 oz. shredded cheese (we used Kraft four cheese blend)
7. 2-3 cloves of fresh garlic (depending on taste, we used 3)
8. Your favorite pork rub

You will also need :

1. Plastic wrap
2. Baking sheet (as you can see, ours is well used)
3. Grilling Tongs 
4. Grilling Spatula
5. Cutting board
6. Chef Knife
7. Skillet
8. Smoker
9. Charcoal
10. Wood (we used oak chunks with mesquite chips)
11. Charcoal starter fluid

Simple right? AND CHEAP! total cost was about 15 dollars! Not only that, but it was enough to feed 6-8 people. Perfect for a family BBQ!

Step 1 Preparation

Before you start building your fattie, there is some prep to be done.

• Mince the  garlic
• chop the yellow pepper and onion
• cut up and pan fry about 1/2 lb. of bacon

We only ended up using half of the pepper and onion, but saved the rest for omelets in the morning!
