Dinner 50 Mins.

Ingredients

4

4 servings

  • 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
  • 0.25 cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 0.5 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2.5 cups chicken broth, or as needed
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 0.25 cup sliced green onions

Instructions

  • 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 a 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 butter, about 3 minutes. Add brown sugar, ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce; pour in chicken broth. Stir in beans. Increase 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.
