Diggity Dog Days of Summer--Homemade All-Beef Dogs

ssv3 · Jun 18, 2016

Hello brothers and sisters,

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. There is a hot dog TD going down and what's better than making your own right? :becky:

I snapped a few pics along the way and here they go:

Spices for the dogs

Ground some chuck first then seasoned it and semi froze it for a second grind

The second grind

Next I put it in the food processor to get it to a paste like/hot dog consistency

I put some in collagen casings and some in hog casings since that's what I had. Here are the first two steamed for a taste test and they sure tasted like hot dogs. :biggrin1:

While I put some dogs on the gasser I made some curly fries

And ready: Homemade bacon wrapped dog and a naked dog served with regular and curly fires, side of tangy slaw

Thanks for looking!!

Fair to say you set the bar high for the throwdown. Great looking meal that makes me want to catch a flight out and pull-up a chair. Also, which grinder did you use and how do you like it? This may be the summer I pick one up.

Norm · Jun 18, 2016

Looks awesome Sako, I'm not a hot dog fan but I'll bet I would be after trying yours!

BillN · Jun 18, 2016

Love hot dogs but don't eat them much due to suspect ingredients. These however I would have no hesitation, now I am ruined for all other dogs that may come my way. Great job!!!

Thanks bud! I must say it's hot as chit here today though. :biggrin1:

I use the LEM #8 and I love it. I've had for 4 years now and no complaints. No maintenance, all stainless steel and gears are all metal. Not that it needed it but LEM made upgrades to their line up.

Thanks guys! I'm not a big fan of hot dogs either but when you use meat coming for one animal as opposed to thousands it makes a world of a difference. I don't want to even start on the by products.

uke: Naturally these were quite good.

I absolutely love sausage though and prefer pork over beef. I never made dogs so I thought it'd be pretty cool.

4ever3 · Jun 18, 2016

Ummmm yes, I would like two of those please!

Roguejim · Jun 18, 2016

That's called "going big". Even the paper is right.

G'Daddy · Jun 18, 2016

Man, you guys really take it all the way. Now I have to try making my own dogs. If the wifey luvs them, I am in trouble. Thanks.

rcw320 · Jun 18, 2016

That looks really awesome :shock:

blazinfire · Jun 18, 2016

Dang it Sako! Why do you do this to me! First it was the McRibs, now I'm going to be making my own hotdogs! Any way we can get the list of seasoning ingredients?

Looks good though! How did the collagen casings work for you? I plan on doing some sausages with collagen casings to see how they work compared to natural casings. Bet they don't work very well
