Beans & Franks

One of our mid-week go to meals. Quick to set up and then walk away while it's cooking.

Ingredients

28 oz. baked beans (B&N over Bush's)

14 ½ oz. diced tomatoes

12 oz. hot dogs

1 cup/1 medium onion (coarsely chopped)

1 tablespoon olive oil (extra light)

1 tablespoon ketchup

1 tablespoon brown sugar

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Add beans, ketchup, brown sugar, cayenne pepper and diced tomatoes to a large saucepan. Simmer on low.

In a sauté pan add the olive oil and bring it up to a medium heat.

Because I don't trust myself to get the timing right I sear the hot dogs and sweat the onions separately but a braver chef could knock this down to one step.

Slice the hot dogs and sear them, then add them to the simmering pot.

Add the onion to the sauté pan and cook until translucent, then add them to the simmering pot.

Ready in about 20 minutes but if you've got a little extra time turn it down to low and let it go.

That went fast! Next time double up so that we have some leftovers.
