Pork and Beans Casserole Ingredients
- Baked beans – I like vegetarian baked beans for this recipe since we’re adding meat, but you can use whatever you’d like. This would be great with our homemade baked beans recipe!
- Hot dogs – Pork hot dogs sliced into small bite sized pieces.
- Tomatoes – Canned diced tomatoes.
- Onion – Sweet yellow or white onion, diced.
- Cheese – Shredded Fiesta blend or Mexican blend cheese.
- Biscuits – Refrigerated/canned jumbo biscuit dough.
- Egg – For egg wash. Heavy cream or butter will also work.
How do you make pork and beans casserole? (step-by-step)
⭐ First, in the bottom of a casserole dish, mix together beans, hot dogs, tomato, and onion. Top with shredded cheese.
⭐ Then, remove biscuit dough from tube and using your fingers, or a rolling pin, flatten each biscuit and shape so that it fits in the pan, covering the top of the casserole. It is important to make the biscuits thinner so they will cook through completely.
⭐ Next, if you’d like baste the top of each biscuit with whisked egg, heavy cream, or butter.
⭐ Finally, bake on center oven rack uncovered at until biscuits are golden brown on top and cooked all the way through.
Preparation
Can you make pork and beans casserole ahead of time?
Yes, this can be prepared and stored in the refrigerator for 2 – 3 days or in the freezer for several months.
Can I use homemade baked beans instead of canned baked beans?
Absolutely! You’ll want about 3 cups of homemade baked beans to replace the canned baked beans. My preference is to use beans without meat since we’re adding hot dogs to the casserole.
What vegetables can I add?
Adding veggies to your casserole is a great way to bulk it up and add more nutrition.
My favorite vegetable to add to this recipe is diced green pepper. My kids are partial to corn.
Leftovers and storage
How long does pork and beans bake last?
The leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for 3 – 4 days. Keep in an air tight container for best results.
Can you freeze it?
Yes! This recipe should be baked before it is frozen, even if you’re freezing the whole casserole.
To freeze, allow the casserole to cool to room temperature then double wrap in both foil and plastic wrap or use a freezer friendly dish with an air tight cover, and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Can you bake from frozen?
To bake from frozen, cover with foil and bake at 350F for 60 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking for an additional 10 – 15 minutes or until completely heated through.
Make sure if you are baking from frozen that your dish is freezer to oven safe, not all glass and ceramic dishes are.
Alternatively, thaw in the refrigerator and bake at 350F for about 30 minutes or until completely heated through.
Tips, tricks, and frequently asked questions
🔥 Make it spicy with some pickled jalapenos, a healthy squirt of sriracha sauce, or a tablespoon or two of smoke chipotle powder.
🍆 Bulk it up with some diced green pepper or a can of corn.
