Franks-N-Beans Hot Dog is not your average hot dog. Wrapped in bacon, grilled, topped with beans, onion, and mustard make a new favorite to your summer BBQ.

So, today isn't about the ol' reliable burger. Today is about the hot dog. Truth be told, I am more likely to grab a burger than a hot dog, but I knew that it was an opportunity to create a truly delicious hot dog worthy of knocking a burger off the pedestal.

Enter my recipe for Franks-N-Beans Hot Dog. You guys this hot dog is epic. I am still thinking about the flavors, and can't wait to make it again. After I made these even my 6 year old, Kellen, was gobbling one down- he proclaimed it to be "super yum!". We ate these after a day at the beach, and it was the perfect summer dinner.

So what makes this hot dog special?

Hot Dog: Not all hot dogs are created equal. I like to use an all-beef jumbo hot dog. Bonus points for a natural casing too!

Bacon: Smoked and hearty is the way to go. I don't recommend thick cut because it does not wrap well, but I like a nice big slice for these hot dogs.

Baked Beans: I like to use vegetarian beans for this recipe. It is by no means a vegetarian recipe, but I like the simple flavors of a vegetarian baked bean for this hot dog.

Onion: White or yellow is the way to go.

Mustard: I like to use a simple yellow for this recipe.

Hot Dog Buns: I split them to make sure they are ready for the hot dogs. A hearty bun works best so it can hold their weight from the beans in this recipe.

The ingredients are so simple, and probably things you have on hand. They create a truly memorable hot dog!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it difficult to get the bacon cooked on the grill?

I do not find it too difficult. Make sure you are rotating and do not crank up the heat too high to allow the bacon to evenly cook. I advise not using a thick bacon because you will find that it does not stay wrapped unless secured with toothpicks.

Can I use turkey bacon or turkey hot dogs?

Absolutely, but make sure that you get the bacon completely cooked before serving.

Can I use meat substitute products?

Absolutely, but they are not products I typically use so I am not able to advise on cook times or methods.

Why use vegetarian beans? Can I use original or a different flavor?

Sure! I like the simple flavor of the vegetarian, and I like the flavor of my bacon to shine. However, other flavors will work just fine.

I do not like onion. Do you have alternative topping ideas?

Yes! I would use pickled jalapeno, pickle, or maybe some diced tomatoes in place of the onion.

Do I need to use mustard? What can I use it place of mustard?

I suggest traditional hot dog condiments like ketchup or even mayo.
