Well....tonight was tough. Both my daughter and I are fighting a week long illness with lots of meds and not feeling much better. I didn't feel like driving anywhere or ordering, so scraping together something easy in my kitchen was the only option. However, that was a bigger feat than I had anticipated. I had done my weekly cleanout of the fridge the other day so we had no leftovers. So...I resorted to scanning the cabinets and taking inventory of the few valuable ingredients I had left in the fridge. The result...my thrown together version of beenie weenies. It turned out surprisingly well. Here's how it went:
1 large can of baked beans...I had a store brand and it wasn't anything fancy
to this I added...2 sliced hotdogs
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 diced yellow onion
1 Tablespoon prepared mustard (I love mustard in lots of things and use it often!)
1 Tablespoon ketchup
1/2 teaspoon prepared minced garlic
3 slices cooked bacon, crumbled (I almost always have cooked bacon in my fridge...never know when you can use it for flavoring...awesome to have on hand.)
I cooked this combo together until it was boiling and then turned it down and let it simmer for 20 minutes on low so the flavors could blend and the onions could soften. Delicious...for beenie weenies that is.
This sounds good.
