Crowders are really a 'Southern' treat and I first enjoyed them when visiting relatives in West…

Chorizo Sausage and Beans by Carolinaheartstrings

Nothing says “cold weather classic” to me like one of my childhood favorites, beanies and weenies. At my house that is what we called pork and beans with hot dogs cut up and mixed together and baked in the oven. I loved it!

It is surprisingly tasty, and a real kid-pleaser. It's simply canned pork & beans, bacon & cheese on a hamburger bun, and broiled till cheese melts. Served open…
