Soak the beef bung in lukewarm water for 60 minutes.

Chop the applewood smoked bacon into manageable pieces.

In a food processor, combine half of the ground beef and the chopped bacon.

Add 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of vinegar, and 3 large eggs to the food processor.

Puree the mixture until smooth, adding water as needed for consistency.

Transfer the puree to a bowl and repeat the process with the remaining ground beef.

Drain the soaked beef bung and fill it with the meat mixture using a spoon, ensuring to remove air pockets.

Tie off the end of the beef bung securely with string.

Boil the filled beef bung in a pot of water, gradually bringing it to a boil to prevent bursting.

After an hour of boiling, check the internal temperature; if it hasn't reached 160°F, transfer it to a baking sheet lined with foil and bake at 350°F until cooked through.

Once cooked, place the hotdog in an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
