    Hot Dogs and Hamburgers go together like peanut butter and jelly, RIGHT?  When we light up the grill to make burgers we always throw on some Dogs too, we cannot resist! Sides always include Cowboy Beans, it's just a requirement. IDK why. Well , yes I do because it they are soooo darn good!

    Funny Story

    This recipe really started on a day I was making cowboy beans and no bacon (GASP- I am pretty sure that is a sin) to be found in the house! Don't you just hate when you are missing an ingredient?? I had been to the store a bazillion times already that week and vowed to not go back. Gotta get creative when that happens.

    My son was having some boys over for hot dogs, hamburgers and swimming. I had so much to finish doing, going back to the store was not happenin'! And you know I had vowed!  I decided I would try using hot dogs, they were good for beanie weenies when the kids were little. By golly we were having hot dogs and hamburgers, so it goes with the "THEME.

    First Time I can ever say I was glade I didn't have BACON!

    They actually were delicious! A New Recipe is Born! Gotta LOVE when that happens!

    Here's how to make them!

    In a Ninja 3 in 1 Cooker (this has a stove top feature) or skillet fry onion and hamburger meat until almost done. Drain if needed and add hot dogs. Fry until hot dogs hot some color.  Note: I used lean ground round and did not need to drain.

    Hot Dog & Hamburger Frying

    (Now if you fried in a skillet - Transfer meat to Crock Pot and) - add in beans and all the ingredients and stir.

    Put on lid and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours!

    Hot Dog Cowboy Beans

    Once they are done, all those flavors come together to create sweet smokey deliciousness! I like to top a serving off with a few slices of grilled hot dogs for good measure!  
    Here you have it deliciousness ready to be gobbled up!

      I made the Hot Dog & Hamburger Cowboy Beans. As it is only my wife and I, I had to adjust the recipe for just 4 servings. Also I made some substitutions and a couple of additions. Again adjust for just 4 servings. I used little smokies instead of hot dogs. I added a table spoon of Worchester Sause and 1/2 tsp of sage along with a little salt and pepper. Turned out great.

        Absolutely. Just get the beans to a slow boil and then turn down to med low and cook until the flavors come together. I would say about an hour or so.

        Thank you Denise! My husband grew up with it more than I did. We ate baked beans more, but my kids liked it from time to time. They love this one! I hope you enjoy this version!

          HI! This receipe looks delicious! I received an instant pot for Christmas and was wondering if you had any clue as to how I would make this in it?! Thank you !

          December 30, 2017 at 10:59 am

          Honestly I have not tried canned beans in the instant pot yet. I will have to test that out soon. I would maybe try the directions starting with the saute feature and you could use the slow cook feature as directed in the recipe. If you want it quick maybe use the Bean/Chili button. Please let me know how they turn out! Thanks for stopping by Renee! I look forward to creating more recipes for the IP and will def be testing this one soon!

      Your hot dog and hamburger cowboy beans certainly don't look like they need bacon. Your son is so lucky to have such a great cook for his mommy =)

          I’m a dingle guy and I do it all in a skillet with a can of plain pinto beans, 1/4 pound extra lean Hamburg , 3 sliced 97% fat free hot dogs, salt pepper and Accent. I’m even too lazy or hungry for the onion. The water from then beans makes intoxicating gravy in the pan . I can be eating in 10 minutes and it’s better than anything you can order out.
