Hot Dog Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Stuff the Casings

    Carefully rinse the casings in cold water and soak them for about 30 minutes. Using a sausage stuffer, fill the casings with the meat mixture, being careful not to overfill. Twist to form individual hot dogs.

  3. 3

    Seal the Ends

    Tie off the ends of each hot dog with kitchen twine to secure the filling.

  4. 4

    Cook the Hot Dogs

    Grill or boil the hot dogs over medium heat until they are fully cooked, about 15-20 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving on a bun with your favorite toppings.
