  • Made some hot dogs

    Amazingly, everything I used to make these I had on hand. Meat used was aprox. 5 1/2 lbs venison, 3 1/2 lbs lean pork butt, and 1 lb beef suet. The lean meats were chunked up and cured in the salt and cure for 24 hours before grinding.
    The meats were ground 3 times then ice water added slowly while I attempted to emulsify with my very cold hands. The meats absorbed 2 cups of water and could have taken a bit more as the dogs were just a little firm.
    They were smoked for 2 hours at around 140 degrees, then poached in 180 degree water until an internal temp of 155.
    Heres some pics...

        I think they look great! I see you went with the corriander and omitted the mace, how did you like them?

          They were a little underseasoned. Not the fault of the coriander. I did my taste test before I added the water and the flavors got a bit dilluted. But the combination was excellent. Thanks

            Would you mind posting the measured ingredients for the batch or is that a trade secret?? I am looking for a recipe that I will like and that looks like one I will.

              Jim I kind of combined some different recipes, and once you get the salt/cure amounts correct, the rest can be changed to your liking. With that said...to the best of my memory for 10 pounds...

              You can use a combination of meat but try to get at least 20 percent fat.
              5 Tbs salt
              2 tsp cure #1

              2 Tbs white pepper
              4 Tbs paprika
              2 Tbs mustard powder
              1 tsp ground celery seed
              2 tsp ground coriander
              1 Tbs garlic powder
              2 cups dry milk powder
              3 cups ice water
              Without a food processor...
              Cut meats into 1" chunks. Add salt and cure to meats. Try to cure different types of meats separately. Cure for 24 to 48 hours in fridge. Do not cure pure fat if any. Partially freeze and grind all meat and fat through 1/4' die. Refreeze and grind through 1/8" die. Mix all ingredients except water until very sticky. Refreeze and grind again with small die. Add 1 cup ice water and mix until sticky again. Keep mixing aggressively and adding water a little at a time until paste is not so sticky.

              I would use the largest sheep casing you can get.

                        Look great! I don't like the regular "made with any part of any animal we have laying around" dogs (actually, I DO like them, but...trying to eat healthier) and so I've been buying beef dogs (probably still all parts included). You've got me wanting to try some of these now too.

                          Who says animal lips are unhealthy?

                              It's not just the lips. I always heard the ingredients were eyes, ears, lips, snouts and udders. Now doesn't that sound like a good Oscar Meyer weenie?
