Ingredients
- 8 hot dogs
- 1 can (28 oz / 794 g) baked beans
- 8 hot dog buns
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon barbecue sauce
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Prepare the hot dogs:
Cut the hot dogs into thick slices, leaving a few larger pieces if you want the look shown in the photo.
2. Brown them:
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the hot dogs and cook for about 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.
3. Add the onion:
Add the chopped onion and cook for another 2–3 minutes until softened.
4. Make the beans:
Pour in the baked beans. Add brown sugar, mustard, ketchup, barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and smoked paprika.
5. Simmer:
Stir everything together and reduce the heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce becomes thick and glossy.
6. Assemble:
Warm or lightly toast the hot dog buns. Place some sliced hot dogs in each bun and generously spoon the saucy beans over them.
