Cooking With Andy is an experimental YouTube series that combines unlikely sweet and savory packaged foods together to create unlikely versions of familiar dishes, such as this infused sausage that is made from scratch and flavored with Mountain Dew Soda.
The recipe is an unlikely mix of soda and street food to create a hot dog with unusual flavor. The dish contains a mix of beef, corn, eggs, crushed Doritos chips and Crisco. The hot dog filling is then soaked in Mountain Dew soda -- or what Andy refers to as 'DEWshine' to flavor the meat with an added element of sweetness. The soda's green hue colors the meat that is then cased and packaged as sausage rings. The hot dogs can be grilled and served with assorted condiments.
