This hot dog crown casserole — originally called the frankfurter crown casserole — is a retro recipe from 1965.

It gets points for creativity by using hot dogs split lengthwise, then strategically placed in a circle around a creamy potato/green bean combo.

Back in the sixties, the ingredients for this dinner were so inexpensive, they said this recipe made “Almost a meal-in-one dish for less than one dollar.”
