Do you know what traditional hot dogs are made of? This isn’t a horror book so I don’t want to be too graphic here. Let’s just say the words mechanically separated, blended meat, bone bits, corn syrup, high sodium, preservatives, chemicals, artificial colors, as well as artificial flavors are involved. Enough said.
Feel free to enjoy these wholesome, homemade hot dogs with peace of mind. These dogs are made with a combination of cooked ham with ground pork that gives it an authentic hot dog taste, all without the frightening ingredients of manufactured hot dogs. These dogs make a quick and easy weeknight dinner. Simply combine the ingredients, form into hot dogs and put in the oven for 35 minutes. It makes enough for dinner, and for lunch for the next day!
Note: If you’d like to use ground turkey or chicken, that works too.
