Beans and Franks

Add bacon to pan over medium heat. Once fat renders, add onion and celery and cook until vegetables are soft. Transfer to baking dish.

Add sliced hot dogs to pan and brown. (I used Hebrew National beef hot dogs) Transfer to baking dish.

Add beans (I used Bush's canned beans, drained and rinsed) and remaining ingredients to baking dish with hot dogs and vegetables. Add about 1 cup water. Mix well.

Bake uncovered at 300° about an hour. This long low cooking time allows the flavors to blend and sauce to thicken.
