Franks and Beans a thrifty type of meal

One of the easy and frugal meals from my childhood was beans and franks.  Baked beans and hotdogs go together normally. If you do not like the combination you can substitute the hotdogs with ham, sausage or even browned ground beef.

1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup molasses
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon mustard
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cans (16 ounces each) baked pork and beans in tomato sauce (about 5 cups)
6 Hot dogs

Mix together onion, ketchup, molasses, brown sugar, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Add beans and stir to blend.
Spoon the seasoned bean mixture into a 2-quart casserole and bake at 300 for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
Arrange the franks on the beans and bake for 30 minutes longer.

Variations
Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of chopped cooked bacon to the beans along with the seasonings.
