Cheese Fatty

Ingredients

  • 1 lb of hamburger or breakfast sausage (other types of sausage can be used)
  • 1/3 lb of havarti cheese (I have used white cheddar in the past)
  • 2 heaping tbsp of minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup of loosely packed asiago cheese
  • 10 turns of a pepper grinder
  • Enough granulated garlic to dust the outside
  • Bacon

Preparation

Step 1

Combine the sausage, garlic, asiago and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Sausage and garlic:

Now the asiago and black pepper:

Using your hands, mix the ingredients together well. Really get in there and squish it all up. Then spread the meat on a piece of wax paper and spread out evenly:

Chunk up the havarti and place in the middle of the sausage, leaving plenty of room around the edge to seal the cheese in.

Wrap in bacon and smoke.
