1

Lightly score the hot dog casings from end to end on four sides to help them stay flat as they cook. Cut into 1/2-inch slices.
2

Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions, poblano pepper, celery, and cayenne pepper. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are soft and the onions are translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
3

Stir in the hot dog slices and cook until warmed through and the hot dog fat blends with the butter, about 3 minutes. Add the brown sugar, ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce; pour in the chicken broth. Stir in the beans. Raise the heat to bring the mixture to a simmer; lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook until the flavors come together, about 30 minutes. As the beans cook, use a wooden spoon to mash some against the side of the pot to thicken the stew. If it becomes too thick, add more broth.
4

Right before serving, stir in the chopped green onions.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
