Hot Dog Casserole

I like to cook but there are days when I don't really want to be bothered  . . . and other days when I'm not feeling particularly fancy or inspired . . . sometimes I just want to throw a bunch of ingredients that I have on hand together and call it dinner . . . this is one of those recipes that covers all those bases and it's pretty darned good, too!

Hot Dog Casserole


1/2 Pound Ground Beef
4 Hot Dogs, Cut In Half Lengthwise And Sliced
1 Can (16 Ounces) Baked Beans
1/2 Cup Ketchup
2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
2 Tablespoons Prepared Mustard
4 Slices American Cheese Chopped
4 Slices American Cheese, Cut Into Strips
1 Pillsbury Pizza Crust

In a large saucepan, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain off fat.


Add the hot dogs, beans, ketchup, brown sugar, mustard and
chopped cheese. 

Cook and stir until cheese is melted.

Roll out the pizza crust and press into a casserole dish.  Prick all over with a fork. 

Bake at 400 for 5 minutes. Fill with hot beef mixture. 

Cut each cheese slice into strips; make a lattice topping over pie. 

Bake 5-10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
