The National Hot Dog and Sausage Council, in conjunction with the Beef Checkoff, is opening its catalog of hot dog and sausage recipes for Americans to celebrate Wiener Wednesdays. Every Wednesday over the summer and beyond, the NHDSC will highlight a featured Wiener Wednesday recipe and work with chefs to develop their own Wiener Wednesday recipe creations.
“Taco Tuesday may have been the originator of the ‘meal of the day’ trend, but frankly, Wiener Wednesday is the top dog of weekly food holidays,” said NHDSC President Eric Mittenthal. “The versatility of hot dogs and sausages in recipes is endless and a perfect solution to weekly family meal planning.”
Whether on the grill or in the kitchen, hot dogs and sausage recipes are available for any occasion. The NHDSC’s All Recipes page features more than 100 different recipes for hot dogs and sausages including chef creations and many recipes submitted by hot dog and sausage enthusiasts. There are even hot dog sushi (aka Beefshi) recipes for adventurous home cooks. For those seeking more traditional options, the NHDSC has a full guide to all of the regional hot dog varieties popular around the country with video demos for preparing some of the most popular ones.
Throughout the rest of the summer and beyond, the NHDSC will highlight recipes on its social media channels using #WienerWednesday and will feature the best consumer created #WienerWednesday recipes as well.
Established in 1994 by the American Meat Institute, the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council serves as an information resource to consumers and media on questions related to quality, safety, nutrition and preparation of hot dogs and sausages. The Council also celebrates hot dogs and sausages as iconic American foods.
