Cinnamon Game Day Fatty
Servings: 5 to 6
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 1 box Krusteaz Cinnamon Crumb Cake (will only use ¼ of the finished cake)
- 1 tablespoon Bone Suckin’ Sauce Seasoning & Rub
- 1/4 cup of maple syrup + more for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven or grill to 300°F.
- Bake the crumb cake according to box instructions. Once cooled, crumble ¼ of the finished cake into little bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
- Lay your sausage on plastic wrap. Smash & spread the sausage until it forms a large, thin, semi-rectangular shape. It is best to work with the sausage when it is very cold.
- Next, add your crumbled crumb cake to the center of the sausage sheet, almost like you’re filling a burrito. Pour the maple syrup over the crumbled cake.
- Carefully roll the sausage around the crumb cake, using the plastic wrap as help. Pinch the sausage closed. Next, sprinkle all sides with the Bone Suckin’ Sauce Seasoning & Rub. Wrap tight in plastic wrap and foil. Keep in the refrigerator overnight or place it in the freezer for 10-20 minutes before cooking. This will help this deliciously edible football keep its shape!
Note: If using a grill or smoker make note that this will be cooked over indirect heat. Cook for 1 hour or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F. Let rest for 5- 10 minutes. Slice and serve with extra maple syrup.
