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.

How to make Beanies and Weenies in the Slow Cooker:

  • 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.

  • Add the hot dogs to the slow cooker along with four 15-oz. cans of pork and beans. Stir.
  • 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 plasitc sporks if you have them.
  • No other sides are necessary, this is a complete meal!

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