1-1/2 cups finely diced fresh pineapple

Adjust oven rack to middle position and turn broiler on high. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-low heat; Add hot dogs and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 10 minutes.

Bring beans and barbecue sauce to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cover and keep warm. Pull some of the crumb from both sides of each roll. Broil until toasty brown, 3 to 4 minutes.

Spread mustard over each side of all the buns. Fill each with baked beans and a hot dog. Top with pineapple and onions. Serve.
