Heat a large skillet or medium-sized pot over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
Slice the beef hot dogs into 1/2-inch pieces and add them to the skillet. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. Set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
Add the baked beans to the skillet, followed by the ketchup, brown sugar, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Return the browned hot dog slices to the skillet and stir into the bean mixture.
Lower the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
Taste and season with salt and black pepper as needed.
Serve warm as a main dish or a side, and enjoy your comforting, cafe-style Picnic Beans Wienies!
