This recipe for Baked Beans and Wieners is a classic, crowd-pleasing dish that’s perfect  for upcoming cook-outs, picnics, and summer parties. Canned pork ‘n beans are dressed up with sliced beef wieners, onions, peppers, ketchup and brown sugar then baked until bubbly.

This has been a  family favorite for years. When my children were growing up, it was always the one food they wanted on their plate. They still like this as adults, and my grandchildren enjoy it just as much.   

I used a large can of beans for this recipe, but it can be adjusted for smaller portions.  A small can of the beans can be used if fixing this recipe for 2 people.

Using a disposable aluminum pan works perfectly if you are transporting this dish to a cookout or picnic.  I do use a nice baking dish if serving this as a side for a holiday meal.
