Barbecue Bean Bacon Dogs

This is a combination of two ideas that I've been wanting to make for a while. First, there's a bacon-wrapped hot dog. Second, a quick and easy bean topping.


You can't beat them! You can wrap the dogs in the bacon, or just lay the bacon out on the buns as I did. Either way, you're in for some bacony, beany good eats!
