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.
