Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 hot dogs sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 28 oz baked beans with pork
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp yellow mustard
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp olive oil optional, for sautéing hot dogs

Equipment

  • Skillet

Method
 

  1. Slice the hot dogs into 1/4-inch rounds.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil if using and sauté the hot dogs until browned, about 5 minutes.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low and add baked beans to the skillet. Stir to combine.
  4. Add brown sugar, yellow mustard, and garlic powder. Stir well.
  5. Let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Serve hot, optionally with bread, rice, or cornbread.

Notes

For a gourmet twist, try using smoked sausage instead of hot dogs, or add diced bell peppers and onions for extra flavor.
