Skillet Franks and Beans
I’ve remade this childhood favorite so it’s filled with pure goodness—it’s thick and saucy, sweet and tangy, and it totally hits the spot.
Ingredients
- 1 yellow onion, finely diced (about 1½ cups)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 12 ounces (package) hot dogs, or pre-cooked sausage (I love using smoked chicken-apple sausage), sliced into ¼-inch discs
- 2 cans Northern beans, rinsed and drained
- 16 ounces no-salt-added tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ teaspoon dry mustard, or 1 teaspoon prepared mustard
- ½ teaspoon sweet paprika
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Liberally coat a large, wide skillet (or medium to large pot) with oil spray and warm over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and ¼ teaspoon salt, and sauté until soft and lightly browned, about 4 minutes.
- Add the sliced hot dogs or sausages to the pan, mist with additional oil spray, and sear the sides against the hot surface of the pan until they become slightly caramelized and browned, about 2 minutes.
- Add the beans, tomato sauce, tomato paste, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, paprika, remaining ¾ teaspoon salt and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil, then lower heat and simmer for about 15 minutes until everything is piping hot and the sauce has thickened a bit.
