Comments

The Kid Kritics sang praises about this recipe, "I loved it, ate every bite… It tastes 1000%... I liked it 10,000%... The best one yet… I absolutely love this food ... It spoke for itself … I lOVE it!”


Once you have boiled franks or hot dogs in beer, you will find it hard to go back to plain water. Again, the alcohol has been cooked out of the beer so this cooking method is safe for kids. The taste is delicious and the texture so mouth-watering. Replacing beer with broth also adds flavor and moisture. The last minute placement on a grill takes these hot dogs to a whole new level of delicious! No more dried up shriveled up franks or hot dogs. You’ll gain the reputation as a master chef. And, it is so easy. You and your family will savor every bite!

  1. 1 bottle beer

  3. 5 Uncured Chicken Franks, Shelton's Poultry

    Place gently into boiling liquids. Adjust burner temperature if necessary. Make sure they are mostly submerged. If not, add more water. Boil until heated throughout. For best taste, cook on grill for an additional 3-5 minutes, turning over half way through.
  4. 5 whole grain buns

  5. Romaine lettuce, 3-5 small leaves

    Rinse lettuce and pat dry. Add to buns. Top with chicken franks.
  6. 2-3 slices cheese, white

  7. 10-15 tomato slices

    Add to buns.
  8. Condiments of choice

    Add your family's favorite condiments - mustard, organic ketchup, BBQ sauce, chili, etc ... serve warm!

Options

Replace beer with chicken or vegetable broth as desired.  Use shredded cheese and diced tomatoes.  Add diced onions or chives.  Grilling at the end adds great flavor, but this step is not necessary - especially in a time crunch.  They will still taste delicious!
