Direction

  1. In a saucepan, combine all the ingredients except the salt, bacon, onion, beans, and hot dogs. Bring the sauce to a boil, whisking to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat to moderately low and simmer until reduced by one-third, about 20 minutes. Season with salt.

  2. Preheat the oven to 325°F. In a large enameled cast-iron casserole, cook the bacon over moderate heat, stirring, until the fat has rendered, 5 minutes. Add the onion and cook until softened, 8 minutes. Stir in the beans, hot dogs, and sauce, cover partially, and bake for 1 hour, until the beans are glazed. Season the beans with salt and serve.
