Billionaire's Franks And Beans

Abagnale admits that even when enjoying the life of luxury as a con artist he would fantasize about his parents getting back together and things returning to normal.

Recipe Summary Billionaire's Franks And Beans

Usually, franks and beans is made by opening up a couple cans of baked beans, and heating it up with some sliced hotdogs. Not exactly something you'd serve to visiting dignitaries. However, by adding some fresh veggies, plain beans, and high-quality beef hot dogs, we can achieve something much healthier, equally delicious, and every bit as comforting. Serve with buttered toast and Champagne.

Ingredients | Frank Abagnale Wife Brenda

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

¼ cup ketchup

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

2 ½ cups chicken broth, or as needed

2 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed

¼ cup sliced green onions

Directions

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 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 the butter, about 3 minutes. Add brown sugar, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce; pour in chicken broth. Stir in beans. Raise 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.
