Whipped up a nice fatty for supper tonight!
(Pic heavy)

Take about 1 1/2 - 2lbs of ground beef and flatten it into a square. Take your favorite rub and rub both sides.

Next, grate some cheese and completely cover one side.


Fry up a little bacon!


I like my bacon to be crispy and I let some of the grease soak into a paper towel before I move to the next step.


Crush the cooked bacon into bits and cover the burger flat as much as possible! 

Roll everything up into a loaf.


Make a bacon weave and roll the burger loaf inside! Congratulations you've now rolled a FATTY! 

Add rub to the outside of the bacon weave. 


Set the Egg up for 250° indirect with a drip pan in place.

Slap the fatty in and don't open the grill until it gets to an internal temperature of 145° (about 2 hrs)


145° and she's smelling like heaven!!!!!!!


Slather on some BBQ sauce and close the lid until the fatty gets to an internal temp of around 165°  ( about 1 hour)


A little probing to check for doneness and she's ready to come off! 


A close-up of the finished product before leaving  the grill! 

PERFECTION!!!!!! The BBQ sauce caramelized perfectly, the meat isn't dry, the cheese is melted in the center, AND it has MORE bacon inside!!!!  

BACON BACON BACON!!!!!!!!!   

This is one of my favorite things to make on the grill and it comes out perfect every time!  I usually slice it into whatever thickness I'm feeling like and make burgers with it.  Or you could just slice it and eat it as well!  Either way it's an amazing treat for whoever sinks their teeth into one of these!
