Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups baked beans
- 6 pieces hot dogs or frankfurters
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 0.25 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cup bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the hot dogs or frankfurters into 1/2-inch pieces.
Finely dice the yellow onion.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add the sliced hot dog pieces to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they start to brown slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the baked beans, sautéed onion and hot dogs, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Stir well to fully incorporate the flavors.
Transfer the mixture to a 2-quart casserole dish and spread it out evenly.
In a small bowl, melt the unsalted butter in the microwave or on the stovetop. Stir the melted butter into the bread crumbs until evenly coated.
Sprinkle the buttery bread crumbs evenly over the casserole.
Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the mixture is bubbly and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your hearty Franks and Beans Casserole!
