Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 pound hot dogs (or Lil Smokie's sausages)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 yellow onion, diced
1 fresh poblano chile pepper, diced
1 tablespoons minced fresh cayenne pepper, or other hot red pepper (I'm a total white girl when it comes to pepper heat
so I will back this off a bit if I want to eat much of this)
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 1/2 cups chicken broth, or as needed
2 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup sliced green onions
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions:
Directions:
Lightly score hot dog skins from end to end on 4 sides (just score through the skin of the hot dog. No need to do this if you are using the Lil Smokies) . 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, 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.

Personal Notes:
This is a very tasty recipe. Full of flavor. A new twist on an age old recipe.

If you want to use an Insta-Pot or other pressure cooker, just use dry cannellini beans. I still like to saute my onions and peppers first and then brown the dogs or Lil Smokies.
Cook on your "Bean" setting.
