We take franks and beans to another level with this spiced baked bean and gooey cheddar cheese topping. It’s an easy, tasty riff on chili dogs that kids—and the young at heart—will love. This is ideal backyard barbecue fare, but also can be made by grilling hot dogs and buns in a grill pan on the stovetop to enjoy any time
you crave an all-American favorite.
Ingredients
  • 16 oz canned baked beans with pork, drained
  • 3 tbsp uncooked onions, chopped
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened dill pickles, chopped
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 8 Light beef or pork hot dogs
  • 8 Reduced calorie hot dog buns
  • ½ cup Weight Watchers Reduced-fat Mexican style shredded cheese
  • ½ cup, chopped uncooked scallions

Instructions
  1. Heat grill to high.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine beans, onion, pickle and mustard; microwave on high until heated through, about 1-2 minutes. Cover to keep warm; set aside.
  3. Grill hot dogs until browned in spots, about 3-4 minutes. Grill buns until grill marks appear. Place a hot dog on each bun; top each with 2 heaping tbsp bean mixture and 1 tbsp cheese. Return hot dogs to grill; cover and cook until cheese melts, 1 minute. Serve garnished with scallions.
