Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Hot dog franks
- 4 cups Canned baked beans
- 1 medium (diced) Yellow onion
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1.5 cups (shredded) Cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons (melted) Butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional for garnish) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Slice the hot dog franks into 1-inch pieces and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the baked beans, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes.
Fold in the sliced hot dogs, then transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the bean and frank mixture.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the melted butter until evenly coated. Sprinkle this breadcrumb mixture over the cheese layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, before serving.
