A Recipe to Make Homemade Hot Dogs

Ingredients:

2 pounds ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
1/2 pound ground pork
1/2 cup ice water
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1/2 tablespoon ground coriander
1/2 tablespoon white pepper
1/2 tablespoon dry mustard

Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix well. You can use a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or mix by hand. Make sure everything is well combined and the mixture has a uniform texture.

Next, you'll need to form the hot dogs. There are a few different methods you can use, depending on what tools you have available:

Method 1: Sausage Stuffer

If you have a sausage stuffer, this is the easiest method. Simply fill the stuffer with the hot dog mixture, attach the casing, and crank the handle until the casing is full. Twist the casing in between each hot dog to make individual links.

Method 2: Piping Bag

If you don't have a sausage stuffer, you can use a piping bag. Fill the bag with the hot dog mixture and attach a wide tip. Pipe the mixture into the casing in long, continuous lines. Twist the casing in between each hot dog to make individual links.

Method 3: Hand-Rolled

If you don't have a sausage stuffer or piping bag, you can roll the hot dogs by hand. Take a handful of the hot dog mixture and shape it into a long cylinder. Carefully wrap the cylinder with the casing, twisting the ends to make individual links.
