Easy Frankfurters Recipes

HOMEMADE FRANKFURTERS

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients, mix well and stuff into sheep casings (pork casings will work too, but will end up a little fatter frank).
• Smoke for 2-3 hours at 115 deg or until a rich orange color is reached (you can freeze them at this point, until you want to boil them).
• Then cook in water heated to 160-170 until franks float.
• Cooking time depends on thickness of the hot dog.
• You can simply just grill them as well.
• Again, the yield depends on how long and thick your links are.

FILLED FRANKFURTERS

Steps:

• Cook the macaroni in boiling salted water until tender.
• Drain and rinse in hot water.
• Combine the milk, mustard, salt, pepper and 2 cups of the cheddar cheese in the top of a double boiler and cook until the cheddar is melted and sauce is smooth, stirring frequently.
• Add the macaroni and blend well.
• Split the frankfurters lengthwise, without separating them, and fill with the macaroni mixture.
• Sprinkle with the remaining cheddar and bake in a hot oven (400 degrees F.) for 15 minutes.
• Serve hot.
