Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 6 pieces Hot dogs (or franks), sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1 large Yellow onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 28 ounces Canned baked beans
- 2 tablespoons Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
Add the sliced hot dogs to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and slightly crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the hot dogs from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the canned baked beans. Stir well to combine with the onions and garlic.
Stir in the ketchup, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then add the browned hot dogs back to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Cover and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve hot as a main dish with cornbread, rice, or a simple green salad on the side.
