Beans and Wieners
Funny how simple dishes can trigger found memories. There are many foods that immediately send my mind to grade school; grilled cheese and tomato soup, tater tots, apple crisp, and beans and wieners.
Beans and wieners is such a simple and economical dish to make. The kids think it is fun too because there are hot dogs in the soup. Frugal and fun, exactly why it was served so often in my grade school cafeteria, but you can make it at home too!
Beans and Wieners
1/2 pound dry navy beans
3 hot dogs, slice
1 carrot, chopped
1/2 a small onion, chopped
ketchup
salt
pepper
Soak beans in the morning, or do a quick soak per instructions on the package. Drain beans and put them back in the pot. Add just enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes. Add hot dogs , carrot and onion. Continue to cook about another 30 minutes until beans are soft. Add a squirt of ketchup. Salt and pepper to taste. Good served with cornbread!

I''ve actually never had "beans and wieners" in this format (just "franks and beans," which is sort of soupy, but not soup....).
Anyway, I actually wanted to say thanks for the great idea in your yard sale post about keeping an envelope in your purse for yard/garage sale money. I would have commented on that post yesterday, but the comments are off on it.
Um... not sure how the comments got turned off on that post. I was wondering why i hadn't got any comments. Duh! Thanks for letting me know!
Oh wow I have never made bean and wieners with fresh beans only canned. I need to give it a try. Thank you for participting in the second edition of the SFF Bog Carnival.
