Beans & Franks

When I was little and spent many Summer weekends on Long Beach Island, NJ with family, many memories were made around the breakfast and dinner table (most lunches were packed up and eaten on the beach). One dinner that always comes to mind when I think of the shore is beans and franks (sliced hot dogs) and recently I decided to make them myself. I'm sure you could get any variety of baked beans, but I went for a vegetarian option (without bacon) with a maple flavoring, cut up hot dogs and warmed everything up in a saucepan together. Then I toasted a piece of an italian roll and enjoyed a nostalgic trip back in time. Mmm beans & franks, easy and delicious.
