These Beanie Weenies are absolutely yummy – WAY better than canned beanie weenies too and nearly as simple too!
Beanie Weenies
Today’s recipe is brought to you all by request of my lovely 12 year old daughter – because she begged me to post it. It’s her favorite meal of all. She absolute begs me for it, and I don’t mind making it since it’s no sweat off my back.
It’s absolutely fool-proof, totally easy, and incredibly budget friendly too. Plus, it tastes much, much better than those little cans of beanie weenies.
You will rarely find me without a can of Bush’s Baked Beans in my pantry for the sole purpose of this little recipe.
Dinner arrives on the table in record time with minimal effort, perfect for a quick homemade meal after a long day’s work – or when you don’t have much time.
Heck, it’s even good when you do have plenty of time because it gives you more time for you!
It can be prepared on the stovetop in about 15 minutes or so, or you can even pop it in the crockpot on low for 2-4 hours.
It’s easily doubled & tripled for larger groups of people. And it’s super cheap to make – depending on the prices/sales in your area, it costs about $0.75 or less for each serving.
Budget friendly is an understatement!
Beanie Weenie Ingredients
Here’s what you need to make beanie weenies:
- hot dogs
- baked beans (1 large 28 oz can)
- light brown sugar
How to Make Beanie Weenies
Slice up 4-5 hot dogs. You can use any kind you want – beef, turkey, pork, nitrate free, whatever. I like my weenies in the all beef form 🙂
Turn the heat to medium high, and cook your weenies in a hot skillet until browned.
(Tip: You can also skip the browning part of the hot dogs, and combine everything in a crockpot – and cook on low for 2-4 hours)
Sprinkle 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of brown sugar on top of your weenies, depending on how sweet you want your finished product to be. I like mine pretty sweet, so I use 1/2 cup.
Pour on a can of Bush’s Baked Beans. I like the Country Style version myself the best, but you use your favorite.
There’s a little piece of seasoning meat that comes in there, you can add that too – or give it to any furry bystanders instead. You might get some wet thankful kisses in return 🙂
Let the mixture cook on low/medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring often – for flavors to meld.
Serve while hot.

Great website! Thanks for the chance to enter the giveaway 🙂
my fam would like this for dinner!
Good,good and mo good! Grew up on hot dogs n beans, this is better than my Mom’s!
I sure remember when
There is way too much sugar in this.
Why add the sugar. Baked beans or pork & beans are already sweet enough.
I add BBQ sauce, a little mustard and a package of crushed onion soup mix. I use Little Smokies instead of, or in addition to, the hot dogs. Super yummy. I always bring this to cookouts. (Fav BBQ sauce is Jack Daniels)
Can this be frozen in small amounts?
Thanks

I don’t see why not.
I add a small chopped onion and molasses, been doing it this way for 20 years..
Amazing recipe. Loved the sweetness. My kids loved it too. Will definitely make this often.
I add Hatch, jalapeño or habanero peppers! Jarred or fresh! Bacon bits too!
