What You’ll Need
- Canned baked beans. Use two 16-ounce cans, including the sauce. A sweeter variety gives the dish a more pronounced sweet-and-tangy flavor.
- Hot dogs. Slice eight hot dogs into coins so each serving gets plenty of pieces.
- Yellow mustard. Two tablespoons add a tangy bite that balances the sweetness of the baked beans.
How to Make Beanie Weenies on the Stove
Add the baked beans, hot dog coins, and mustard to a medium saucepan. Set it over medium heat and stir until the mustard is blended into the sauce. Once the beans begin to bubble, adjust the heat as needed to maintain a gentle simmer.
Cook uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally and scraping along the bottom of the pot to keep the sauce from sticking. The dish is ready when the hot dogs are heated through and the sauce is thick and bubbling.
What to Serve with Beanie Weenies
Ladle the beans and hot dogs into bowls and serve them hot. A slice of cornbread or buttered toast is good for scooping up the sauce.
