    Thank goodness I don’t have to see those horrific corn dogs at the top of the page anymore! ;)

    Bruce – those stacks look AWESOME, I’m gonna have to give those a whirl for sure. Have you guys found sausage without sugar added? Pete’s Fine Meats?

    Dan posted this the other day. Just buy ground pork and make sausage.

    Nice food hack, thanks!

    The spice mix tastes great and is super easy. I adjusted the recipe for 5 pounds of pork, put it in a ziplock bag and now use 1.5 Tbsp per pound of ground meat.

    Anthony and others,

    I agree with Dan on the sausage alternative. I used his 9 spice mix with ground turkey. In fact, at Whole Foods in the meat freezer section, there is a ‘chub’ of frozen ground turkey, brand name is Diestel (sp?) that is ONLY ground dark turkey meat without skin. Be careful though. Right next to it is their turkey breakfast sausage which is NOT WLC compliant.
