I did; they were hiding in the freezer in an unsuccessful attempt to escape the latest round of freezer diving. And once they were out, what better to do with them than to put them on Bubba Ho-Keg with some tater fries?
The dogs in question tonight were some skinny beef franks and those chicken-apple sausages we are so fond of. We served them up with and without buns, and with a topping of some onions sliced thin and cooked in a foil pouch with a little butter. Looked like sauerkraut, but tasted a lot different.
This latest round of freezer diving may have been enough to get us to the point where I can put the remainder of the food in ice chests and get the freezer defrosted. Just in time to restock it for upcoming holidays and extended family cookouts.
Now I just need someone to eat up all of those leftover dogs taking up residence in the refrigerator…

Apple sausage dogs? Are they a local thing, I haven’t seen them around here. Is the apple just a subtle flavor or do they have big chunks in there?
The brand name is Aidells and we get them at Costco. The apple is in small chunks and is a nice blend with the chicken. They have a mild flavor, and it is easy to lose it if you are using a strong mustard or other topping.
They have other flavors that are also pretty good; unfortunately (?) there aren’t any left in the freezer and I don’t remember what they are at this time. If you see them give them a try.
Did you use spicy brown mustard for the Dogs? After I tried that I never went back to the basic yellow mustard.
About the only time regular yellow mustard is used in this house is by the kids or when adding to sauces, rubs, or beans. I prefer spicy browns, dijon, and all sorts of other flavored mustards.
I forgot to mention I cooked corn on the cob on the Keg for the first time Saturday (pictures on site) and I was amazed how well it came out.
Hopefully you used the “leave in husks, soak in cold water for 30 minutes, and cook in husks” method. We love it that way; unfortunately the affordable good corn season here is very late in the summer and lasts about 2 weeks.
I did the corn that way indeed. I was amazed how good it came out. Corn season runs from end of May to September I think.
I meant around here obviously.
There are those that claim it is the same here. Unfortunately the prices and quality don’t seem to reflect that claim…
Its market forces! Here we have fields of corn so no leverage!
