Instructions: Set aside 1 cup of the baked beans. Puree the remaining beans in a blender or mash them in a large bowl; set aside.

In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add hot dog pieces and onion and cook 3 to 5 minutes, or until lightly brown.

Add tomatoes, tomato juice, brown sugar, and hot pepper sauce.

Simmer 10 minutes. Add the 1 cup reserved whole beans and the pureed beans. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook 10 to 15 minutes, or until the soup is piping hot, stirring occasionally.

Yield: 4 servings
