Unsweetened dill pickle

Heat grill to high.

In a medium bowl, combine beans, onion, pickle and mustard; microwave on high until heated through, about 1 to 2 minutes. Keep bean mixture covered to keep warm; set aside.

Grill hot dogs until charred, about 3 to 4 minutes. Grill buns until grill marks appear. Place a hot dog on each bun and top each with 2 heaping tablespoons bean mixture and 1 tablespoon cheese; return to grill and cover for 1 minute to melt cheese. Serve garnished with scallions. Yields 1 hot dog per serving.
