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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Cook the hot dogs for 4-5 minutes until they are browned and heated through. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

While the baked beans are heating, preheat the oven broiler to low or set it to 375°F for toasting.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Toast the buns in the oven for 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.

Step 7

To assemble, spread mustard and ketchup on the toasted buns as desired. Place two hot dog halves on each bun.

Step 8

Spoon a generous amount of baked beans over the hot dogs and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.

Step 9

Return the assembled sandwiches to the oven and broil for 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Optional: garnish with chopped green onions before serving. Serve immediately and enjoy your Frank and Bean Sandwich!
