Servings: 6

Ingredients

• 2 cans pork and beans, about 28 ounces each
• 8 frozen raw beef hot dogs
• ½ cup barbecue sauce
• ¼ cup yellow mustard

Slow Cooker Poor Man Freedom Beans: Directions

1. Lay the frozen beef hot dogs flat across the bottom of the slow cooker, spreading them out into one even layer.
2. Open the cans of pork and beans and pour them over the hot dogs. Then add the barbecue sauce and yellow mustard on top.
3. Use a spoon to stir everything together gently. Make sure most of the hot dogs are covered by the beans and sauce mixture.
4. Put the lid on the slow cooker. Cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours, or on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours. The hot dogs should be hot all the way through, and the beans should be bubbling at the edges.
5. Give everything one more good stir before serving. You can serve the hot dogs whole on top of the beans, or slice them into smaller pieces and mix them in — whichever way your family likes best.
