Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell pepper; stir frequently until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the beans, hot dogs, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder.
  2. Transfer mixture to a 2-quart baking dish. Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs or sliced green onions, if desired.

Notes

  • I use classic Oscar Mayer Wieners, which are made with chicken, pork, and turkey. If you prefer all-beef hot dogs, that's fine too. Any brand or variety works!
  • Wait to season the dish with salt until after you've tasted it. The hot dogs, baked beans, and Worcestershire sauce all provide a good amount of salt, so it might not need anything more.
  • For fewer dishes to wash at the end, saute the veggies in a cast iron skillet (or other oven-proof pan). Transfer the skillet directly to the oven to bake, without the need for an extra casserole dish.
  • Garnish the beans and franks with chopped fresh parsley or other herbs for a bright, flavorful finishing touch.
