Main Dish

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form into 4 equal patties, each weighing 1/4 lb.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Top each patty with cheddar cheese in the last minute of cooking to melt.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Frank Dinner

    Place each cooked patty into a hot dog bun. Top with mustard and diced onions.

Potato Salad

  1. 4

    Cook the Potatoes

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the cubed potatoes and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until tender. Drain and cool.

  2. 5

    Mix the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, diced celery, and green onions. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 6

    Chill the Salad

    Cover the potato salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Baked Beans

  1. 7

    Prepare the Beans

    In a medium saucepan, combine the canned baked beans, brown sugar, and BBQ sauce. Stir well.

  2. 8

    Heat the Beans

    Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until hot and bubbly. If desired, add crumbled bacon for extra flavor.
