BILLIONAIRE'S FRANKS AND BEANS



Billionaire's Franks and Beans image

Usually, franks and beans is made by opening up a couple cans of baked beans, and heating it up with some sliced hotdogs. Not exactly something you'd serve to visiting dignitaries. However, by adding some fresh veggies, plain beans, and high-quality beef hot dogs, we can achieve something much healthier, equally delicious, and every bit as comforting. Serve with buttered toast and Champagne.

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound hot dogs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 yellow onion, diced
1 fresh poblano chile pepper, diced
1 rib celery, diced
2 tablespoons minced fresh cayenne pepper, or other hot red pepper
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
¼ cup ketchup
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 ½ cups chicken broth, or as needed
2 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
¼ cup sliced green onions

Steps:

  • Lightly score hot dog skins from end to end on 4 sides. This helps keep them flat when they cook. Slice into 1/2-inch rounds.
  • Melt butter in large pot over medium heat. Add onions, poblano pepper, celery, and cayenne pepper. Season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir until vegetables are soft and onions are translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Stir in hot dog slices and cook until heated through and fat from hot dogs mixes with the butter, about 3 minutes. Add brown sugar, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce; pour in chicken broth. Stir in beans. Raise heat to bring mixture to a simmer; reduce heat to low and cook until flavors mix, about 30 minutes. While beans are cooking, use a wooden spoon to crush some of them against the side of the pot to help thicken the stew. If mixture gets too thick, add more broth.
  • Just before serving, stir in chopped green onions.

Time 55m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound spicy Italian sausage (about 5 links)
8 ounces bacon, sliced into 1/3-inch pieces
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, small diced
2 cups grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Two 15.5-ounce cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
4 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves removed and chopped
2 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves removed and chopped
1 cup ditalini pasta or elbow macaroni

Steps:

  • Heat a 10-inch straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and continue to heat. Pierce each sausage link twice with the tip of a pairing knife. Add the sausages to the hot pan and brown evenly on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the sausages to a plate to cool slightly. When cool enough to handle, slice each link on the bias into 1/2-inch pieces. Set aside.
  • Reduce the heat to medium. To the hot skillet, add the bacon. Cook until it is brown and crisp. Add the garlic and onions and cook, stirring regularly, until the onions begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to blister and break down, about 10 minutes. Add the paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper and cook for another 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth, drained beans, thyme and rosemary and allow the mixture to return to a simmer. Nestle the sausages back in and add any juice that may have collected on the plate. Allow the mixture to cook until the sausages are cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a pot of rapidly boiling salted water, cook the pasta for 8 minutes. Drain and immediately pour the cooked pasta into the bean mixture to finish cooking, about another 3 minutes.

BEANS AND FRANKS BAKE



Beans and Franks Bake image

I have made this beans and franks casserole several times, and it's always a hit. The kid-pleasing combo has a sweet flavor from the baked beans and the corn bread topping. The recipe saves on pans to wash if all were cooked separately. -Roxanne VanGelder, Rochester, New Hampshire

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the franks and beans will taste. Look for fresh, plump franks and firm, flavorful beans.
  • Don't overcook the franks: Overcooked franks will be tough and chewy. Cook them just until they are heated through, about 5 minutes.
  • Use a variety of beans: Don't just stick to pinto beans. Try using black beans, kidney beans, or navy beans for a more flavorful dish.
  • Add vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to franks and beans. Try adding chopped onions, celery, carrots, or bell peppers.
  • Season to taste: Franks and beans are a blank canvas for flavor. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, or cumin to taste.

Conclusion:

Franks and beans is a classic American dish that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages.
