Ingredients

  • 6 hot dogs sliced in half lengthwise
  • ½ cup onion diced
  • 28 ounces baked beans drained
  • ¼ cup bbq sauce
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 32 ounces frozen tater tots
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, over medium heat, cook the hot dogs for 2-3 minutes or until heated through. Remove and set aside. Add the onions to the skillet and cook 2-3 minutes or until they start to soften.
  • Slice the hot dogs into ½ inch pieces. Preheat oven to 425F.
  • Pour the baked beans, bbq sauce, and yellow mustard into a 9x13 casserole dish. Stir to combine the ingredients.
  • Sprinkle in the sliced hot dogs and cooked onions. Stir to combine with the beans.
  • Top with tater tots. Sprinkle it with the shredded cheese.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until the casserole is bubbly and the tots are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  • Remove from the oven and enjoy!

Notes

  • If you don't happen to have tater tots you can use frozen shredded potatoes.
  • Want to have a cornbread topping? Make the corn bread mix according to package directions and pour over the top. Bake as usual.
  • Try different hot dogs or sausages. Be sure to cur into bite size pieces.
  • If you like a little sweetness in it, try a tablespoon of maple syrup or light-brown sugar.
  • Want it spicier? Add a dash of Worcestershire sauce, extra dry mustard, or chili powder.
  • Check your cheese topping to make sure it is melted and a little browned but don't let it burn!
  • Let it cool briefly before bringing it to serve if you plan on serving from the casserole dish at the table.
  • Great as leftovers on the next day.
