Smoked Pepperoni Pizza Fatty

The warm weather has finally started to come and it is beginning to feel like spring. The snow has melted off the backyard deck and it is time for me to get smoking. One of my favorite things to cook in the smoker is a fatty and this smoked fatty recipe is amazing. There are many different kinds of fatties and I love to try different kinds, stuffing them with all sorts of unique ingredients. 

Here are a couple of other smoked fatty recipes I have made.

Smoked Ham and Cheese Fatty

Today I have a smoked pepperoni pizza fatty. I used Italian sausage meat and stuffed it with green olives, pepperoni and mozzarella cheese.

How to Make a Fatty

Mix the Italian sausage meat with the sliced green olives. Roll the meat mixture into a 10×10 inch square. Roll in a large freezer bag or on parchment paper so the meat will roll into the fatty easily.

If using a large freezer bag, cut it open and lift off the top portion.

Lay the pepperoni slices in the middle of the sausage meat. I cut the pepperoni in quarters so that they bunch together well in the middle of the fatty.

Sprinkle the grated mozzarella on the pepperoni.

Roll up the sausage into a log. Tuck in the sides to make sure there is no opening for the cheese to melt out of.

How to Smoke a Fatty

Get the smoker going and bring it up to 250F. Place the fatties in the smoker and smoke them at 250F for about 2 1/2 hours.

Take them out of the smoker and let them rest for about 5-10 minutes. This smoked fatty recipe turned out incredibly well. Serve them with some marinara sauce and they will totally taste like a smoked pizza!

    Hi Steve,

    Which bisquettes are best to smoke this fatty?
    Also, having separate controls on the bradley smoker, do you leave the smoke on from start till the very end of the cooking time or that is just too much?

    Thanks
    Clint

  • Now the only mistake i see with this recipe, you did not wrap the package with a mat of interwoven bacon.
