No reviews

Sourced from a 1958 Good Housekeeping Cook Book, this franks and beans casserole combines canned baked beans with pork, ketchup, minced onion, yellow mustard, and Worcestershire sauce, then bakes at 350°F with hot dogs until richly sauced and bubbling. A cornerstone of American postwar cookout cooking, it requires fewer than ten minutes of prep and produces a crowd-feeding baked beans casserole that travels beautifully to summer potlucks, neighborhood gatherings, and church socials.

  • Total Time: 40 Minutes
  • Yield: 12-15 Servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 - 28 oz cans baked beans with pork

  • 2 1/2 pounds hot dogs

  6. Serve directly from the pan.
