In a large bowl, add ground pork and beef. Combine together.
Add hot dog, raisins, sweet relish, soy sauce, salt, garlic powder and ground black pepper.
Mix the ingredients.
Add raw eggs. Mix well.
Toss-in grated cheese and mix.
In a foil, add 2 to 2 ½ cups of meat mixture and flatten into 2 ½ inches wide.
Once flatten the meat mixture should be about 7 inches long. Leave 2 inches of foil on each end.
Lay 5 slices of eggs on top of meat mixture.
Fold meat mixture and cover eggs forming a log.
Seal one end of foil and hold it up with unsealed foil on top. Tap it a few times to form a solid log. (Please watch video if this step is not clear.)
You’ll end up with 5 to 5 ½ of rolls.
Get your steamer ready, place embutido and cook for an hour. Let water boil then lower heat.
Once done remove embutido from steamer. Let it sit for a while to cool.
Once cool, open up foil and remove the embutido. Note: if not serving yet, it is best to leave it inside the foil to keep it moist. Also, don’t slice embutido while it is hot. It can crumble.
Serve warm or cold. Enjoy.
Note: Some people prefer it slightly fried.
Note: Refrigerate any leftover. You can also use a food saver if you decide to freeze it.

It is optional to cut hot dog in cubes. You can place whole hot dog in the middle of meat mixture with the hard boiled eggs. But I find it tastier if hot dog is cut into cubes.
Embutido can be fried slightly before serving, if you like. Either way, it is delicious.
