I'm not a fan of all-beef hotdogs. Don't like the way they taste. I prefer pork, chicken and beef mixture. I buy Zweigle's hots, which are produced in Rochester, New York. I can usually get them at Wegman's in Syracuse, or I pick them up when I visit my sister-in-law who lives outside of Rochester. Zweigle's makes a white pork hot that my son says tastes like the wurst in the curry wurst sandwiches he likes in Berlin. I make a hot sauce from a recipe used by the old Don & Bob's restaurants that were around in Rochester years ago. They used only Zwiegle's hots in their restaurants too.
Yummmyyyyyyyyyyyyy
I adore Cajun food!

Jumbalaya also has chicken. Your recipe is missing that. Don’t use hot dogs — use a good sausage instead.
