Recipe from Grammie Cressy

**This is Grampa's favorite meal!**

Fritos and Beans

There is some debate as to whether this is an actual meal or not but a true Van Ness knows the answer to this...  Here is a small version of the recipe since most of us don't need to do a whole big pan anymore!

Fritos and Beans

Serves 4 people

1 28 oz can of Bush's Baked Beans (any flavor, especially if it has bacon)
About 5 oz of Fritos
4 Hot Dogs, fried or grilled
Grated Mozzarella Cheese

Heat oven to 400 degrees.

Dump beans in 9x9 pan. Slice the hot dogs and mix in to the beans. Bake in preheated oven until the beans are bubbling around the edges. Remove from oven and layer the Fritos over the bean mixture. Apply the Mozzarella Cheese liberally. Return to oven and cook until the cheese is melted and begins to brown.

For nostalgia, this must be served with apple sauce and buttered bread.

Variation:
Use Chili Cheese Fritos and Stagg Chili instead of Baked Beans and Ground Hamburg instead of Hot Dogs
