Beanies and Weenies

Just two ingredients and a crockpot and you will have a complete meal that is nostalgic. Beanies and Weenies are great for camping or a family dinner at home!

Don’t judge on the simplicity of it, I know I could have added other things to it like BBQ sauce, mustard or onions, you can if you like, but this is how I like them, just Pork n’ Beans and dogs. 

This recipe for beanies and weenies is one of the meals I made at my family reunion where we were camping. I started it before we went swimming, and when we got back, it was ready to serve. We also made Root Beer Pulled Pork one night and a Nacho Bar another night.
