California Farm Frankfurter Hot Dogs

Commercial Hot Dogs are ultra processed to extend shelf life. Farm grown hot dogs are fresh. Made from tasty grass fed chuck steak beef and succulent pork ham meat and pork belly fat, ground, then emulsified, parboiled and lightly cold smoked. Traditional Frankfurter Hot Dogs.
A go-to lunch, from freezer to hot water or on the grill, ready in the time it takes to make the buns and toppings. This traditional recipe is very flavorful because it uses beer while processing, instead of water in most commercial American hotdogs.
Freezes well for a year.
