- Ready In:
- 40mins
- Ingredients:
- 4
- Serves:
-
4-5
ingredients
- 1 (28 ounce) can baked beans
- 6 -8 hot dogs
- 4 cups tater tots
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
directions
- Set your oven to 450.
- Dump your can of baked beans (we use Bush's vegetarian) into a casserole dish. (We use a medium sized glass bowlish looking -- thing). Set the dish aside.
- Cut up your hotdogs into bite sized pieces and throw those into your casserole dish and mix until dogs are well coated with baked bean sauce.
- Cover the bean and dog mixture with tatertots. We usually use a couple handfuls. Use as many as you'd like. Just make sure to cover the mixture completely.
- Place the casserole dish in the oven for 1/2 an hour or until tater tots are golden brown. When Redneck Casserole is all cooked up, turn off the oven and sprinkle the top with cheese.
- Redneck Casserole is completely done when cheese is melted and you just can't take it anymore -- dig in! (You can mix pretty much anything with this dish. Sour cream, ketchup, mustard, hot sauce, etc.).

Had a hankering for franks n' beans so when I saw this recipe and photos, went right to the grocery store for the fixings. Used 2 cans Bush's bourbon & brown sugar baked beans (with added ketchup and mustard) in 13x9 baking dish, pkg of 7 Hebrew National beef franks, and shredded cheddar-jack. As suggested in some of the reviews, I pre-baked the tater tots for extra crispiness. Turned out yummy! Not exactly healthy, but every now and then you just gotta have some ooey-gooey comfort food. Will make again, it's a keeper and you can do endless variations. -
Made it for Christmas dinner and it was well received by adults and kids alike. Nothing beats fancy beanie weenie for comfort food. :) Will definitely make again. Most of it was gone which is saying something with as much food as was brought.

i loved it, my wife thought it was ok -- i used vegi dogs instead of hot dogs and vegetarian baked beans. the second time i added some chili and onions since my wife likes chili dogs and she liked it much better

Absolutely love this!! Found a happy twist during the pandemic and couldn’t find tater tots, we now top with potatoes O’Brien!! Hash browns with onions and peppers!!! Omg!! So much better as I’m not a big fan of tater tots!! -
This has become one if my favorite comfort dishes... So easy to make! Add some chopped cooked bacon as well!

Everyone in my house loved this. A great substitute for having no buns. Instead of regular hot dogs I used chili cheese dogs, beans I used the BandM bacon and onion, I then squirt on some siracha all over. Instead of tots I ended up using crispy crowns. Sprinkled on some salt, pepper, peprika, and topped it off with shredded cheese. Sooooo yummy!! -
My entire family loves this easy recipe! I've made it with both baked beans and pork and beans, and it's great either way. I usually add a chopped onion to the mix as well, and I also have used french fries instead of tater tots (one family member hates tater tots), and it's great that way too. I usually cook the fries/tots ahead to make them crispier and microwave the beans and dogs to speed up the process, just using the oven as a last step to melt the cheese. I also usually use Turkey dogs as I prefer them to regular hot dogs. All in all, great idea that is perfect for a quick and cheap dinner! -
love how easy and good this recipe is! hubby isnt a big fan of baked beans unfortunately, so i used chili instead. i doubled the recipe using 4-15 ounce cans of chili, 12 hotdogs and a whole bag of tator tots. for those of you using chili instead i suggest using shili with beans, i used half with and half without and it was very runny to dish up. tasted good but it didnt look as pretty as it would have i think. thanks for sharing this recipe! -
No, it's not "haute cuisine," but I threw this together for a potluck in 10 minutes tops and it was good, so that merits 5 stars from me! I put it in the oven and by the time I was ready, so was dinner. I doubled the recipe and baked both dishes at the same time, and had dinner for my husband too, with leftovers for lunch the next day. I had no time to experiment so made it as is. Next time I'd doctor it up like I do my own baked beans, and would use sausage instead of hot dogs. This is a very versatile recipe. As is it was good, though a bit bland. Everyone liked it, and it was just as good reheated for lunch the next day. This is perfect for a lightning fast weekday dinner.

This casserole has a lot of potential and I love the title. The baked beans were bland to my family and they said that they didn't want it again but when I mentioned using chili instead of the baked beans, they thought this was a great idea. Will let you know how the chili goes. Should be like a chili dog with tots!

Well let's see. I live in a little town called Sandy in northern Oregon. As a coinsidence I work at a little store called Safeway....alright alright, it's not little...actually, it's probably the biggest franchise IN this town next to Fredmyer. Haha...ha. Ehem. I work in the deli...dun dun dun, as a deli clerk. Besides work and this town being small, some of the things I enjoy doing in my free time is looking up random recipes and cooking with whatever ingredients I have...spontaniousity, if there is such a word, would sum me up completely. My dream is to become an archeologist, or go to school for it at least. One of these days I will have the funding. I guess last but not least...well...let's just leave it at that for now. ^_^
