"Wienies & beans" or "beanie wienies" or "franks & beans"—whatever you want to call the dish—there's something deliciously comforting about wieners and canned beans. For some, it harkens back to campsite dinners. For some, it's the first meal they learned to make on their own. And if you've never tried it, you're in for a treat! It's undeniably tasty, economical and dead easy to make. This recipe gets a bit "fancy" with sauteed onion and fresh cracked pepper.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 (398 ml) cans pork and beans (drained)
- 1⁄3 cup chopped sweet onion

- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons ketchup or BBQ sauce
- 1 tablespoon mustard (honey, yellow, dijon)
- 1⁄3 cup packed brown sugar
- freshly cracked pepper, to taste
