A delightful twist on a classic comfort dish, combining savory flavors with a hint of sweetness.
Heat the canola oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot enough to sizzle when adding ingredients.
Add the chopped bacon and diced onion to the skillet, cooking until the bacon is crispy and the onion is translucent.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Slice the hot dogs into bite-sized pieces and add them to the skillet, cooking until lightly browned.
Browning the hot dogs adds a nice texture and enhances their flavor.
Stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, and paprika, mixing well.
Adjust the sweetness and tanginess by varying the sugar and mustard amounts.
Add the canned beans, stirring to combine, and reduce the heat to low.
Rinse the beans beforehand to reduce sodium content.
Simmer the mixture for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
Cover the skillet partially to prevent splattering while allowing the sauce to reduce.
Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Pair with a side of crusty bread or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
