Sneaky Veggie Franks and Beans

Sharon123's Note:

A tasty dish that combines most kid's favorites - hot dogs and baked beans. The sweet potato and the carrots in the orange puree add not only a top source of nutrients and fiber but a delicious hint of sweetness! Adapted from the Sneaky Chef Cookbook by Missy Chase Lapine.

Have had your Orange Puree recipe on hand for some time now & make it every once in a while, so that part of this recipe was easy, as was the rest of it, actually! To really enjoy a recipe like this, one needs to remember to use a quality frank! Definitely a wiener winner & something to make again in the future! Thanks for this great keeper!

A classic that my whole family enjoyed! Baked beans are my oldest DD's favorite, so she was extremely excited to see what was for dinner tonight. We used barbecue sauce and Big Franks for the vegetarian hot dogs. It had great flavor and I'm sure we'll be having this recipe again! Thanks! ZWT6 LOONEY SPOON PHOODIES!
