Now, here’s a delicious recipe from Mettja C. Roate’s The New HOTDOG Cookbook, courtesy of Dan Savage and the year 1968.

Hot Dog Rib Liners

10 hot dogs
2 cups chopped, roasted, lean pork
2/3 cup grated sharp American cheese
1/4 cup grated onion
1/3 cup mayonnaise
12 hamburger buns, halved

Chop the hot dogs until they are the consistency of coarse corn meal. Add the chopped, roast pork, cheese and grated onion. Add the mayonnaise and mix all thoroughly.

Scoop out a portion of the dough from the top half of the hamburger buns, leaving about a 1/2-inch wall. Fill this cavity with a portion of the hot dog mixture. Cover with the bottom half. Wrap each bun in aluminum foil.

Place the foil-wrapped sandwiches in a 375 degree oven for 15 minutes. Serve piping hot.
