Weiners, Kraut and Beans


Here is a quick dinner for you, hot dogs, sauerkraut and baked beans, all done on top of the stove.  This is such a fast meal to make, don't blink, because it will be done before you know it.  I start with a package of Ball Park Angus Beef Bun Size Hot Dogs and grill them in a dry grill pan on medium heat.  They get really nice grill marks on them so your family will think you did them on the outside grill! (pat yourself on the back).  These dogs took about 20 minutes to make.
All grilled up and cozy in the bun
Now for the sauerkraut. I make a kind of sweet and sour sauerkraut (my own concoction). Start with a can of sauerkraut and pour into a medium size saucepan.  Add 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of white sugar and 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar.  Stir all together and heat until the sugar is melted, about 20 minutes. I learned to really like sauerkraut after coming up with this recipe.
Beans, Beans the musical fruit!  I love beans and make them a couple of different ways.  This is the recipe my mom always used and it is fast.  While the hot dogs are grilling and the sauerkraut is cooking, empty a can of vegetarian baked beans into a medium size saucepan.  Add 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup ketchup and 2 tablespoons of prepared mustard.  Stir and cook over medium heat for 25 minutes.
