With just two ingredients and a crockpot, you can have a nostalgic meal complete. Beanies and Weenies are great for camping or a family dinner at home!

This is a perfect summer camping recipe! We also make slow cooker clam chowder and slow cooker pot roast in our RV!

Don’t judge the simplicity of these crock pot beanies and weenies (a childhood favorite!). I know I could have added other things to them, like BBQ sauce, mustard, or onions, but this is how I like them: just Pork n’ Beans and dogs.  You may also like my other recipe for Grown-up Beanies and Weenies recipe that uses kielbasa!

This beanies and weenies recipe is one of the meals I made at my family reunion, where we were camping. I started it before we went swimming, and it was ready to serve when we got back.

We also made Root Beer Pulled Pork one night and a Nacho Bar another night.

Recipe Ingredients

• Hot Dogs – We prefer beef hot dogs, but you can use pork or even cheese stuffed hot dogs.
• Pork n’ Beans – This is the standard type of bean to use for beanies and weenies. You can used Baked Beans if desired, but it will be far sweeter.

Step-by-Step Directions

1. Add the four can of pork and beans to the slow cooker.
2. Slice an entire package of hot dogs, we prefer beef hot dogs. Brown the hot dogs in a skillet on the stove top that is set to medium high heat.

3. Add the hot dogs to the slow cooker along with four 15-oz. cans of pork and beans. Stir.
4. Cover and cook on high for 3 hours without opening the lid during the cooking time.

How to serve beanies and weenies:

• Serve in bowls with plastic sporks if you have them.
• No other sides are necessary; this is a complete meal!

Can I use fewer hot dogs or beans?

Yes, this recipe is very adaptable, use what you have and you will still have a wonderful dinner.
