Cheap SuperBowl Food - What are you making?

Way back when (During Grad School and the first few years after entering job market as a lowly drug plant chemist) we did social stuff with other (poor) young married people. Now days our "bring a dish" social gatherings tend to look like "Epicureans on Parade" photoshoots for Food and Wine Magazine.

I kin'da miss the old days. Here is a very old and very poor (think cheap)football party treat. I think we are staying home for the superbowl and I may fix this for the dog and me.

Drunk Weenies:

Need:

1 or 2 packages of Hotdog franks. Buy all meat, but not the big (jumbo) ones. Stick to the slim sized dogs we all had as little kids.

1 beer - your brand, but we never spent much money on the beer back in those days.

Half a bottle (makes the finished product hot!) to a full bottle (takes it to ouch!) of your favorite Tobasco style sauce. (I like LA Gold). I guess you could go with Thai Sriracha pepper sauce if you have a desire to die a painful death.

In those days I knew all about Thai Pepper Sauce, but I had no knowledge of the 16 million Scoville index (measured by HPLC) pure capsaicin in the warehouse where I work. A little of that stuff goes a long way but you must have a license to purchase or handle it.

Cut franks into 3/4 inch pieces. Put in a small boiler. Pour beer over the dog pieces. Pour hot sauce over the beer pieces. Stir and bring to a low boil. Put the lid on the boiler and cook until the liquid is pretty much gone.

DO NOT BURN THE DOGS.

Dump in a bowl and artfully place a box of toothpicks along side bowl.

Be careful with Tabasco or Thai Sriracha sauce addition as not everyone may share your love of hot weenie heat.
