Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the hot dogs into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Stir in the baked beans, drained kidney beans, and drained green beans. Mix well.
Add the brown sugar, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to the bean mixture. Stir until all the ingredients are well combined.
Fold in the sliced hot dogs and continue stirring to evenly distribute them throughout the mixture.
Transfer the bean and hot dog mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is bubbling and slightly caramelized.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
