Jalapeno cheese hot dogs

[boykjo]

Trying something new. adding some cheese and japs to some hot dogs. Going to give these a light cold smoke of apple wood for about a good hr or so then cook with heat only.

These will be making the trip to the south Florida gathering this spring

Well........... They look good and taste great with a nice apple wood flavor but not what I was expecting....The japs and cheese over powered the hot dog flavor. I was lazy and only did a single grind instead of a triple grind. They turned out more like small sausages rather than hot dogs. My hot dogs get a triple grind @ 30% fat and a binder added  ( which I didn't add) and the texture turns out like a NY hot dog.....

Looks great!
Point!

Joe,

I'm late, as usual, but I think these look great.  The texture does look more like a sausage than a wiener, but I'm sure the flavor was good.  I'd darn sure put one in a bun and eat it! 

 

[ab canuck]

That looks wonderful, I copied that recipe as well, Great job...

 

[hooked on smoke]

Those look mighty good.

[browneyesvictim]
