Hot Dog Casserole

You might think that we were hosting children tonight at our house with hot dog casserole, but you would be wrong. Jared has been wanting hot dogs for a while and with our grill neatly tucked away until next year, the casserole was a great option. If you are looking to bring the taste of the amusement park to your house, definitely try this dinner.

Ingredients:
1 (28 ounce) can baked beans
2 (16 ounce) packages hot dogs, sliced
1 (7.5 ounce) package corn bread mix

Directions:
1) Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2) Pour the can of beans into a 9x13 inch baking dish so they cover the bottom. Arrange hot dog slices so they cover the beans as completely as possible. If too much juice seeps through to the cornbread, it will take longer to cook. Prepare cornbread mix according to package directions. Spread the batter evenly over the hot dog layer.
3) Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until cornbread is cooked through. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

Another great meal, or as Jared said, "another hearty meal." Jared went back for seconds!

Wife Rating: A
This meal was so easy and fun to prepare and eat! The recipe makes a lot of food -- and could be used a party appetizer.
