Cellulose casing hotdogs

[fagesbp]

First time making hotdogs. I used 3 pounds ground chuck and 2 pounds ground boston butt. We poached a few and smoked the rest. Definitely like the smoked ones better but they were more like skinless sausage.

The recipe:


Chuck


Butt spaghetti


All stuffed









Poached peeled


Smoked peeled

Those look great.

Skinless hotdogs are on my to do list. Gonna try some skinless kielbasa as well.I been using hog casings for the kielbasa (taste great) but the wife is fussy about the casing.Trying the Cellulose soon.

Just as a side note, sheep casings make great smaller diameter sausages, if you are willing to put up with the semi PITA they are to stuff/work with & the awful smell that some of the have

I use the 26-28's, big enuff to slide on a tube bigger than 3/8" so you dont have the stuffing issues. Try looking for ICG casings, best casings you will find. Totally clean, full length, no blow outs, no smell... Best of all, cant beat that snap when you bite into them. (and if you make bangers, i think its a requirement...)

I use the 26-28's not only for wieners, but for all breakfast sausage and snack stix as well.

Good points E! ...... I have only purchased them (sheep) from Cabela's and similar, so it's probably different with good quality casings
