A Big Decadent Hot Dog Food

BIG DOG SANDWICH

Steps:

• Open the hoagie roll. Lay the brisket and pork on the bread, then add hot link to the middle. Pour the sauces on the meats; the BBQ Sauce goes on the brisket and the Mustard BBQ Sauce goes on the pork. Top with Feta Slaw and fold together to make one large sandwich.
• Preheat a smoker or oven for cooking at about 225 degrees F.
• Trim brisket fat on the deckle (large side) just enough to where there is still fat covering the meat. (You do not need to trim the pork butt.) Stir together the pepper, salt, sugar, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder and onion powder in a small bowl. Apply the rub to all sides of the meat thoroughly. Let sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Place in smoker or oven and let cook until internal temperature reaches 200 degrees F, about 12 hours.
• Let sit 30 minutes, then chop meat.
• Grind beef and fat together through a meat grinder and put into a bus tub.
• Mix together garlic, sea salt, chile flakes, peppercorns, curing salt, cayenne and coriander seeds, then pour in 8 ounces cold water for even distribution.
• Add water and seasonings to the meat and toss for 2 minutes. Transfer to a plastic bag and let marinade in the refrigerator overnight.
• Put hog casings in warm salt water and let sit in the refrigerator overnight.
• Place hog casings on a sausage stuffer. Fill with filling, twisting into 6-inch links.
