Hot dogs and beans are a classic combination which I have
always enjoyed. I’ve learned quickly
that sugary baked beans can quickly add up in not only fat and calories, but
more importantly Weight Watchers points plus values! I prefer homemade baked beans hands down, but
when you’re in a pinch classic B&M (or even Bush) baked beans do the trick
for me. If I want to save a few points
plus values, but still get the classic flavor of baked beans I purchase
vegetarian baked beans. They offer the same
flavor, just without the bacon and usually the extra sweetness from added brown
sugar.
I had a few Hebrew National 97% fat free hot dogs leftover
so I sliced them up and heated them through in the microwave. I also heated up the can of beans in the
microwave and lunch was done and ready to eat in under 3 minutes.
I had ½ cup of B&M Vegetarian baked beans (3 points
plus) and 3 Hebrew National 97% fat free hot dogs (3 points plus) alongside
some reduced sugar ketchup and spicy brown mustard. It was a delicious, quick, easy and only 6
points plus dinner.
QUESTION:
Do you like hot dogs and beans?
Beans and franks are one of my favorite meals! Is that ketchup and mustard in that picture? I haven't tried them like that
ReplyDeleteYup, that's ketchup and mustard. I'm like a 6 year old when it comes to hot dogs ... I've always got to have ketchup on them LOL.
DeleteI'm getting more adventurous with my food ever since I started keeping track of what I eat, did that happen to you too? Now I might add jalapeños to my beans next time or olives even lol. I just found a recipe online for a grilled cheese and sloppy joe combo sandwich. Two sandwiches I've always loved put together, so I've got to try it.
ReplyDeleteI definitely get more adventurous with my food. I've added onion and peppers (softened in the microwave) into canned beans before, with a pinch of mustard and a splash of ketchup. It jazzes them up a little more than the plain ole straight out of the can. I try to incorporate a lot of flavoring and protein into my meals because that's what sustaining for me. I just saw a Hungry Girl e-mail with a grilled cheese with taco meat in it ... my boyfriend is making tacos for dinner for us tonight and I'm contemplating using some of the meat to make a grilled cheese tomorrow! But there are times where I keep it back to the basics ... just loaded with a ton of vegetables!
