BEANS AND FRANKS BAKE

Beans and Franks Bake image

I have made this beans and franks casserole several times, and it's always a hit. The kid-pleasing combo has a sweet flavor from the baked beans and the corn bread topping. The recipe saves on pans to wash if all were cooked separately. -Roxanne VanGelder, Rochester, New Hampshire
