Potato Bake With Beans and Franks: Easy and Very Tasty

As a general rule, we always have Heinz baked beans, cheddar cheese, and potatoes lying around the house, so it's a cheap and easy fix to add hot dogs and make this easy dish. This meal is so easy to make that your college roommate could make it without issue.
First, bring some water to boil and add four roughly diced potatoes; cook until the potatoes are tender. Meanwhile, slice four hot dogs and mix in a casserole dish with a 13.5 ounce can of Heinz baked beans. Once your potatoes are tender, drain them, add two Tablespoons of butter and seasoned salt and pepper to taste, and mash with a fork. Layer the potatoes on top and cover the potatoes with grated cheddar cheese. Bake in a 425 degree oven and cook til the cheese is melted and the casserole is bubbling.
Will and I really enjoyed this and, while my recipe said it was supposed to serve two people, we had half a casserole's worth of leftovers, and I used my small casserole. I used uncured all beef hot dogs, but you could easily use bratwurst or any other gourmet sausages to add some extra flair to the recipe, or tofu dogs, if you're a vegetarian or simply trying to go meatless.
