Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces hot dogs
- 1 cup baked beans
- 4 pieces hot dog buns or sandwich rolls
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)
Instructions
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Slice the hot dogs lengthwise in half and place them cut-side down in the skillet.
Cook the hot dogs for 4-5 minutes until they are browned and heated through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium-low and add the baked beans. Stir occasionally and let them heat through for 3-4 minutes.
While the baked beans are heating, preheat the oven broiler to low or set it to 375°F for toasting.
Split the buns or sandwich rolls and lightly butter the inside surfaces with the remaining butter. Place them on a baking sheet with the buttered side facing up.
Toast the buns in the oven for 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
To assemble, spread mustard and ketchup on the toasted buns as desired. Place two hot dog halves on each bun.
Spoon a generous amount of baked beans over the hot dogs and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Return the assembled sandwiches to the oven and broil for 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Optional: garnish with chopped green onions before serving. Serve immediately and enjoy your Frank and Bean Sandwich!
