Ingredients
  

  • 500 grams dry large lima beans, (1 lb / 2½ cups)

  • ½ cup onion, finely diced
  • ⅓ cup ketchup
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  • Soak beans in water in the fridge over night. When ready to cook, rinse beans, add to a pot and add 1½ quarts of boiling water. Simmer for 1 to 1½ hours or until beans are tender. Add salt to the water after 1 hour of cooking.

  • In a bowl, mix together tomato sauce, onion, ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard.

  • Arrange hot dogs on top of beans.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until hot.

Notes

High cost per serving based on the lima beans. I have seen dry beans on Lazada a few times but do not have the exact cost of them, they were pricey however. They show up on Lazada once in a great while.
