Sauerkraught and Apple Stuffed Fatty

Here’s an entry for this weeks BBQ-Brethren Throwdown. The theme was Fatty! For those of you not familar with fatties, a fatty is a simple pork sausage, sometimes stuffed, sometimes not, sometime wrapped in bacon and sometimes not. Best prepared on a smoker.

I was in the mood for sausage and sauerkraut for the last  week or so and when I saw that this week’s throwdown was fattys; I thought I’d turn things inside out. I ground my own sausage, seasoned with sage, thyme and rosemary from my garden. Salt, sugar and cilantro too.

I sautéed some onion and some julienned apples, drained some sauerkraut, and ground a bit of leftover buckboard bacon.

I put the onions on first, then the apples.

Then a layer of sauerkraut followed by the ground bacon and some more apples.

Here it is on the smoker with some country style ribs.

And here it is off the smoker after a short rest.

And here’s my entry photo:

Thanks for looking!
