These miniature sausages, usually made of pork, are also known as cocktail sausages or cocktail weenies. They are very similar to hot dogs in taste, and that's where you'll find them in the store.
Brands vary in weight, with most packages between 12-16 ounces. This recipe will work with any of these sizes.
If you don't like spicy, you can skip the cayenne. If you like things extra hot, feel free to add a little more!
