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)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the canned baked beans. Stir well to combine with the onions and garlic.

Step 6

Stir in the ketchup, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then add the browned hot dogs back to the skillet. Stir to combine.

Step 8

Cover and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 10

Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 11

Serve hot as a main dish with cornbread, rice, or a simple green salad on the side.
