Canning hotdogs

[Strysa]

Has any one ever tried canning regular store bought hot dogs or polish sausages? I got a really good deal on buying in bulk this summer and they are eating up a ton of freezer space right now. Thought it would be cool if I could can them and put them on the self. I just started canning this last spring so I am pretty new at it. Any ideas?

Firstly

Secondly according to Jackie Clay you can can hot dogs, but they dont turn out very good. I recomend using them to make pet food or something and can that mixture IMO

I would can some in chilli too and just use it like chilli dogs with bread instead of a bun. That's how I eat mine anyways most times since I don't make buns often enough.

Wow, those are both great ideas. We have a hound and a lab and I have been thinking about doing the homemade dog food. When you do the chili dogs; do you cut them up or do you just put a few in whole and fill the rest of the can with chili?

I chop them up. I have never canned them in the chilli, but I don't see why it couldn't be done. I meant I would chop them up in chilli to can because I eat mine chopped up and mixed with the chilli anyway. I think it would be a good homemade convenience food! Good luck with the canning
