    🔪 How To Make Franks and Beans

    Since the hot dogs are already cooked, you are really just adding flavor and heating everything up! You'll need a large saucepan, your measuring cups, and a wooden spoon to mix it all up!

    This recipe makes 4 servings, so it's perfect for a family dinner side dish! However, this recipe can be easily scaled up without any extra effort!

    1. Combine. In a large saucepan, combine 16 ounces of baked beans, ½ cup of ketchup, ¼ cup of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon of mustard powder, ½ teaspoon of smoked paprika, and ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder. Stir to combine.
    2. Cook. Cook the sauce over medium heat until it starts to simmer, stirring occasionally.
    3. Add hotdogs. Add 4 sliced hot dogs to the saucepan, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce.
    4. Simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a lid. Cook the franks and beans for about 10-15 minutes, or until the hot dogs are heated through, and the sauce has thickened.
    5. Serve. Scoop into bowls and serve immediately.

    Serve your beans and franks by themselves or over top of some white rice! Everyone will love them no matter how they are served! Enjoy!

    💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes

    • You can also serve the franks and beans on top of rice or pasta for a heartier meal.
    • For a fun twist, try making beans and franks and nachos by topping tortilla chips with hot dogs, franks and beans, and shredded cheese. Bake in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and top with your desired toppings.
    • You can also use Lil' smokies if that's what you prefer!

    🥡 Storing & Reheating

    You can store leftover franks and beans in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    Reheating Franks and Beans

    You can reheat small portions in the microwave or larger portions on the stovetop over medium heat.

    ❓ FAQ

    What Are Franks And Beans?

    Simply, franks and beans are just canned baked beans and sliced hotdogs mixed together. However, this recipe takes the flavors to the next level by adding in some extra ingredients such as brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce!

    What Kind Of Hot Dogs Should I Use?

    You can really use whichever kind you like the best! I personally like to use all-beef hotdogs, but you can use any of your favorite brands or even Lil' smokies!

    Can I Make Franks And Beans In A Slow Cooker?

    Yes! Simply add all of the ingredients to your crockpot and cook on low for 5-6 hours. You can also use the slow cooker to keep them warm at a potluck!
