Filledfrankfurters Recipes

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.

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.

FRANKFURTERS

Steps:

• 1. Cut a gash in the side of each frankfurter. Spread prepared mustard inside; add a strip of cheese and push the frankfurter back in shape. Wrap a strip of bacon around it. Fasten with a toothpick. Grill until cheese melts and bacon is crisp.
• 2. Cut gashes in the frankfurters and spread the inside with garlic butter to which you have added chopped chives and parsley. Wrap with bacon strips and grill.
• 3. Mash blue cheese with a little grated onion and blend in chopped chives and parsley. Gash the frankfurters and stuff them with this mixture. Wrap with bacon strips and grill.
• 4. Cut frankfurters in 1-inch pieces. Alternate these on skewers with tiny whole tomatoes and strips of green pepper. Grill. Serve with a good hot Mexican chili.
