Oscar Mayer Bun Length Angus Beef Franks
What it is
These are beef franks made with Angus beef. They are uncured, meaning they do not use artificial preservatives like nitrates or nitrites for curing. They are pre-cooked and designed to fit standard hot dog buns. The franks have a casing that gives them a slight snap when bitten.
How people cook with it
These beef franks are a convenient and popular choice for quick meals and gatherings. They are versatile and can be prepared in several ways.

To prepare, you can grill them over medium heat until they are heated through and have nice grill marks. Boiling is another simple method; place the franks in a pot of water and bring to a simmer for about 5-7 minutes. Pan-frying in a skillet with a little oil also works well, turning them until browned. They are fully cooked and just need to be heated.
