Check out the original recipe, here. I slightly adapted the recipe. I added more sweet potatoes and hotdogs. Here is the recipe for the picture above!

The Ingredients:

1 Tbsp Coconut Oil
2 large sweet potato, diced
1/2 onion, diced
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp chili powder
2 Tbsp tomato paste
1 14 oz can diced tomato
5 uncured hot dogs, sliced
water as needed

The Directions:

1. In a large saucepan, melt coconut oil over medium-high heat
2. Add onions and sweet potato and saute for 5 minutes
3. Add spices and stir for 1 minute
4. Add tomato paste and stir for three minutes
5.  Pour in tomatoes (with juices) and reduce heat to medium low
6. Simmer for 20 minutes until “bean” sauce thickens and sweet potatoes are tender
   If your sauce gets too thick before the sweet potatoes are cooked through, add 1/4 cup of water at a time until you achieve your desired consistency
7.  Add hot dog slices and heat through for 3-5 minutes
