Gluten Free Easy Peasy Pork & Beans

I call them Easy Peasy for a reason.  There are just a few EASY steps. 

I recommend Bush's Baked Beans for this recipe but your favorite brand is fine. (So long as it is gluten free) 

How many are you cooking for?

For just me, I use:
1 - 16 oz can of Bush's Baked Vegetarian Beans
2 Dietz & Watson hot dogs. (They are gluten free)
Note: If I am really hungry I will eat it all, otherwise the will be enough for another small meal

For multiple people, I use:
1 - 28 oz can of Bush's Baked Vegetarian Beans
4 Dietz & Watson hot dogs. (They are gluten free)

Directions are the same for either recipe:
1.  Open the can of beans and drain it as much as possible, otherwise the result will be very watery.
2.  Pour into a medium size bowl.
3.  Cut the hot dogs up into small pieces and mix with the beans.
4.  They can be cooked(heated) on the stove but I use the microwave.  Cook for 3 minutes on high and then stir.
5.  If they need more, put on for another minute, repeat if necessary, stirring into between.
