Another Breakfast Fatty

[cowgirl]

Another camp breakfast.

Made my usual favorite breakfast fatty but tried some Whataburger sausage this time.

Used my stainless fatty piston, the stuffing was tatoes, onions, ham, cheese, seasonings... I think that was all.

Wrapped in a bacon weave and placed in the cooler overnight...

Still had a burn ban going on so I couldn't use a fire to cook.

Made a foil drip pan, placed the coals around the sides to cook with indirect heat.

I made some cheesy arepas..
They are quick and easy. I used to buy them at the grocery store but they are tastier made fresh.

make a disc with dough, fill with cheese, top with another disc and fry til crisp and golden.

I had to eat one while it was hot, crisp and cheesy.. :-D

fried some eggs in butter and was ready for the build.

Topped a crisp cheesy arepa with two slices of fatty... added an egg and pico..

The cheese was goey and the arepa was crisp..

Drizzled with Mrs Renfros Mango Habanero Salsa and called er good.

I liked the Whataburger sausage and was really happy with the crisp arepa. The Mango Habanero sauce was recommended by a friend here. Thank you!

Over all, nobody complained. :-D

Sorry for so many pics again, but thanks for looking!

Looks great, as always. Curious where you got/made your stainless fatty piston? All the DIY ones I’ve seen have been PVC.

That looks awesome, as always! I've tried making Arepas a couple times, failed miserably. :noidea: If it's available in your area, try some Desert Pepper Cantina Salsa. Only stuff I buy since I discovered it, they're out of El Paso.

Thanks! When a friend in Germany saw my pvc one on my blog, he made the stainless one for me. He made one for himself too. :-D
It's a bit smaller in diameter than my pvc one but it works ok.

is the masa much different than what is used in tamales? Or is there special arepa mix?

It can be used for tamales too. My favorite brand is P.A.N. precooked cornmeal for the arepas.

Yep, they are different. Look for Masarepa, P.A.N. is one of the more well known brands. Goya has one as well.

I just picked up a bag of the Goya to see if there is any difference. The PAN has been working well for me though. Both the yellow and white are tasty to me. :-D

Just when I thought I'd seen it all it only gets better! Mighty fine.

How much oil do you use? Maybe that was my problem. They just didn't puff up as much as I think they should have from what I've read.

Jeez, it’s a work of art. Looks absolutely amazing!
