Beans & Weens
Not the prettiest dish, but one that takes me right back to my childhood.
Growing up, my mom LOVED beans & weens and us kids eventually became obsessed too. I still enjoy it once or twice a year and it always brings me back. Fried veggie dogs, loads of onions, canned beans, and aged cheddar to finish. Nostalgia vibes.

- In a non-stick skillet set to just below medium, heat a few Tbsp. of EVOO with some pepper flakes. Slice up the hot dogs and once your pan is heated, get them into the skillet in a single layer. After a couple minutes, flip them and continue sizzling away for another few minutes until the dogs have nice colour on both sides.
- Add the onions and a good pinch of salt, pepper, and pepper flakes. Stir and cook for 6 - 7 minutes until the onions have softened up. Pour in your canned beans and bring the skillet to a boil. Once boiled, season again with a pinch of salt, pepper, and pepper flakes. Reduce to a simmer and simmer away for 6 - 7 minutes until reduced / thickened up a bit.
- Taste and adjust your salt if needed. Serve garnished with shredded cheddar and your reserved red onions. ENJOY!
