Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz canned baked beans
- 4 hot dogs
- 1 package refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Open the refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit slightly with your hands and press them into the muffin tin cups to form a little bowl.
Cut the hot dogs into bite-sized slices, approximately 1/2 inch thick.
In a mixing bowl, combine the canned baked beans and sliced hot dogs, stirring gently to evenly distribute.
Spoon the beans and hot dog mixture into each biscuit cup, filling them almost to the top.
Sprinkle a generous pinch of shredded cheddar cheese over each filled cup.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove the cups from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing them from the pan.
Serve warm and watch the kids enjoy this fun, handheld meal!
