Watch as Mackinze pulls together this easy meal that can feed a hungry crowd in no time. “One of my favorite warm-weather activities is hosting a summer barbecue, and a trick I’ve learned when it comes to hosting is to rely on easy-to-make sides—especially when I’m serving up a specialty hot dog.” That’s where Bush’s Sweet Heat Baked Beans come in. But not only are they totally quick and easy to make, “they are literally going to bring the heat to my barbecue.”
