Fun With Franks: a.k.a. CRAFTS WITH MEATS
This is a post in Bad Grandma’s Recipe Hell collection of odd and fun recipes from yesteryear. Read on to see the recipes and learn how you can get a free Bad Grandma dishtowel if you try this recipe for yourself.
Put down your knitting needles, there’s a new handicraft in town!
This 1971 recipe from The Betty Crocker Recipe Card Library lets you channel your inner Michelangelo by taking run-of-the-mill hotdogs and turning them into fucking ~art~.
There are two recipes
The first, BACON-WRAPPED FRANKS is for the collage artists and sculptors in the house.
You stuff a hot dog with creative fillings like peanut butter or melon balls. Then you wrap ‘em in bacon, stick a toothpick in those suckers, and throw them on the grill. Who knew self-expression could be manifested in tubes of meat?
The second recipe, GLAZED FRANKS, is for the wannabe pottery artist.
Here, you make fancy cuts in each frankfurter and then glaze them with either a brown-sugar glaze, pineapple jelly, or cola. (Bizarre? Unconventional? Only for those who don’t understand true meat craft.)
Astonish Your Guests
When you bring these dogs to the dinner table, I promise your family and friends will be speechless. And why wouldn’t they? You’re a meat artist baby!
