Beans and Wieners

Beans and Wieners are made with tenderly cooked ground meat, onions, Lit’l Smoked Sausages, pork and beans, honey BBQ sauce, ketchup, and brown sugar. Whenever these ingredients are combined, you know you are going to get a great meal.

My sweet Aunt Mary makes these Beans and Wieners for family get-togethers. Everyone loves it, especially my cousin Josh. He puts in a request for it! She makes hers with ground beef. I usually make mine with ground venison. You can use whatever ground meat you prefer or have on hand.

This recipe is so delicious and extremely easy to make. It takes less than 30 minutes to cook. That automatically makes it a favorite of mine. Prep time is literally the amount of time it takes to chop an onion, and you only dirty up one kettle! YAY!

Beans and Wieners Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds of beef (or other ground meat: venison, chicken, turkey)
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 pack of Hillshire Farm Lit’l Wieners Smoked Sausages
• 2 15 ounce cans of Campbell’s Pork and Beans
• 1 cup of Sweet Baby Ray’s Honey Barbecue Sauce
• 1 cup of Heinz Tomato Ketchup
• 1 cup of Domino lite brown sugar
• 1/2 cup of water

Getting It Done:

1. In a large kettle, heated to medium-high heat, cook the ground hamburger meat, chopped onions, Lit’l Smokies, and water until the hamburger meat is no longer pink. This should only take about 7 minutes. Drain the excess grease if needed.
2. Add the honey BBQ sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, and pork and beans. Bring it to a simmer, and cook until it thickens, stirring often. This should take about 20 minutes.
3. Remove from the heat and serve.

Beans and Wieners are great with cornbread or saltine crackers. On occasion, I have even been known to make grilled cheese sandwiches with it, too.

It is great as leftovers. To store, keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for at least a few days. Take some to work the next day for lunch, and you will notice your coworkers enjoying the savory aroma while your lunch is heating up. I guarantee they will want some or at least ask for the recipe!

I have thought about home canning these beans and wieners, but I am unsure how it will turn out. I worry they will not stay sealed because of the fat. I have frozen the leftover Beans and Wieners before. They were not horrible, but they definitely lost some of their freshness. So, I would recommend keeping the leftovers in the fridge and eating them within a few days.

I hope you enjoy the recipe!
