Beans And Wiens

From the recipe collection of Tara Ippolito

Beans and Wiens (also known as Frank’s and Beans) is such a classic meal that many of us grew up eating.

My mother used to make this for my siblings, and I all the time growing up and we absolutely loved it. She’d always use of favorite hot dogs, too. The one and only Sabrett!

This is definitely one of those meals that probably sounds strange if you’ve never had it before. I promise you it’s worth a try even if it does trick you was a little odd.

Im sure you can tell just by looking at it but this isn’t a fancy gourmet meal by any means. That said, who cares!

The baked beans and hot dogs along with the other simple ingredients go together so well to make something truly delicious.

This super easy to make recipe can be served as either a side dish or main course. We’ve even made this plenty of times as an afterschool snack.

It always makes me feel so nostalgic whenever I make this recipe for them.

It’s awesome that as simple as this recipe is, my kids are always so happy whenever I serve this to them.

I hope you give this recipe a try. If you do I know you’ll love it just as much as my family and I do.

Beans And Wiens Variations

I like this recipe made just the way it is, but here are some ways to change it up if you’d like to.

• Hot Dogs- we are diehard Sabrett hot dog fans in my house, but use any brand of hotdog that you’d like.
• Beans- Any brand or variety of baked beans would work just fine for this recipe.
• Serving-serve this alone or over some white toast. Either way it’s amazing!

Next, add the sliced hotdogs and cook them in the bacon grease for about 2 to 3 minutes or until they start browning on the sides.
