Here’s a throwback recipe to the early days of our first ever food blog. Back when there were 14 of us, cooking and posting like crazy.
Niki Lewis shared this recipe–one of her family’s favorites–and it received around 30K views!
Wait, hot dogs and beans? What is so special about that? Well, go make ya some and see for yourself.
I made this the other night and we invited a friend of ours over, because there was going to be a lot for just two of us. Let’s just say the these guys ate two helpings each and grazed on more. So, it was a big hit.
We had some for lunch today and probably just have a serving left. From a 9 x 13 dish.
This would be a great potluck offering, or something good for a family picnic or maybe just when you need something quick and tasty for the family and you’re in between school and soccer, or any number of activities that could be happening on any given day.
Note: I used the 15-oz.size cans of beans and tomatoes and added the mustard and Worcestershire Sauce.
