Terri's Beanie Weenie Scallopini





Beanie Weenie Scallopini 

 When my son Phillip was a toddler, we listened to The Adventures of Patch the Pirate. On one of his adventures he landed in the old west and met a fascinating character who ate a dish called Beanie Weenie Scallopini. Phillip asked me what was in it, because, as you well know by now, Moms know everything. Though the story does not say, the title gives us direction.

 8 Hot Dogs
1 LB Elbow Macaroni Noodles ( I have used various other pastas over the years, but always come back to macaroni)
1 15 OZ Can Baked Beans (any flavor will do)
1 15 OZ Can Cream of Mushroom Soup
Shredded Cheddar Cheese

 Prepare Noodles according to package; drain. Warm hot dogs; slice and add to noodles. Add beans (do not drain or rinse). Continue stirring over low heat. Stir in mushroom soup. Heat all the way through. 
Remove from heat. Spoon into bowls and sprinkle cheese. 
Serve immediately with bread n butter. 

 A meal fit for the imagination of a toddler.

 (He is 35 now and still enjoys this recipe. I, on the other hand, have become lactose intolerant, so I swapped out the creamy soup for bean with bacon).

Cassoulet

As will the next one. That's because, of the five recipes listed in it, these two are the only ones I ever really enjoyed. CASSOULET Ingredients: 1 Pound Navy Beans (or your own combination of beans equal to one pound) 1/2 Tablespoon Chicken Bouillon Powder 5 Cups Water 4-5 Slices Bacon, diced 1 Medium Onion, diced 2 Carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces 1 Bay leaf 1 Tablespoon Parsley 1 Tablespoon Celery Leaves or seeds 1 Teaspoon Salt 1/8 Teaspoon Black Pepper (either ground or fresh grind) 1 Pound Polish (or Italian or Chicken Sausage)  1 1/2 Pounds Ham Directions: Soak beans. Drain beans; discard soak water...
