A frank making apparatus for extruding a frank having a hollow interior filled with a condiment, such as chili, cheese, taco sauce or the like, includes a reciprocating stuffing horn assembly. The stuffing horn assembly includes concentrically arranged inner and outer stuffing tubes which are secured together and which reciprocate between advanced and retracted positions. The outer stuffing tube, when in the advanced position, is disposed in communicating relation with a metering pump connected to a source of sausage material so that the sausage material is extruded from a cylindrical chamber located between the inner and outer stuffing tubes. The inner stuffing tube, when in the advanced position, is disposed in communicating relation with a second metering pump which is connected to a source of flowable condiment, which is extruded from the inner stuffing tube into the outer core of the frank so that the latter has the texture, color and flavor of a conventional frank, while containing a core of cheese, taco sauce, relish or the like.
