Beans and Smoked Turkey Sausage (Beans and Weenies)

Dinner Tonight: Beans and Smoked Turkey Sausage (Beans and Weenies)






Brrr, it was downright cold this morning! About 3:00 this morning I had to get up and turn the heat up. It was in the 30's. it looks as though it's going to be another Chilly and Rainy Night for all the Trick or Treaters around here. The last 3 Halloweens have been this way. Possible snow flurries coming Saturday morning, our first sign of snow of this season. Spent the day cleaning the spare room back where my computer is at, much needed cleaning! Well to counter the cool day I made a pot of Beans and Smoked Turkey Sausage (Beans and Weenies).






Growing up who didn’t like the old-fashioned Campbell’s Beans and Weenies! I hadn't made it in a while and sounded perfect for dinner tonight. So it's Beans and Weenies but I jazzed it up a bit. I used 1 Butterball Hardwood Smoked Turkey Sausage (sliced into bite size pieces), 3 slices of Jennie - O Turkey Bacon, 1 can of Joan of Arc Spicy Chili Beans, 1 can of Bush’s Reduced Sodium Black Beans (drained and rinsed), 1/4 of a medium-sized White Onion (Chopped), 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon, 1 tablespoon Ground Mustard, 1 tablespoon Splenda Brown Sugar, Liquid Smoke (Optional and to taste), a couple of shakes (or more) of Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, and a 1 cup of Jack Daniel’s Honey Smokehouse BBQ Sauce (or to taste).

Another one of those delicious and easily prepared meals. I used a small size Dutch Oven that I had sprayed with Pam Cooking Spray. Added all the ingredients except for the Turkey Smoked Sausage to the Dutch Oven, and stirred until well mixed. I turned the stove on medium low, covered the pot and just let simmer. Another set it and forget recipe! After I got the Beans started I fried up 3 slices of Jennie - O Turkey Bacon. I fried it up nice and crisp and when done crumbled it up into small pieces  and added it to the Beans. You could make this in a crock pot on low and let it go all day or by using a medium size sauce pan and get done even quicker. I love dishes that you can set low and let them simmer. After a couple of hours I sliced up one of the Butterball Hardwood Smoked Turkey Sausages and added it to the Beans. I then increased the heat to medium for about another 1/2 hour and then reduced it back down to medium low until it was time for dinner. A good Hearty Meal tonight. You have the smokiness of the Bacon and Liquid Smoke, the Sweetness and Tang of the BBQ Sauce, the Spices, along with the Smoked Turkey Sausage and Beans. I just love all the flavors, a real comfort food! For dessert/snack tonight I heated up some Hormel Snackers Chili and Cheese Dip along with some Tostios Multi Grain Scoops. Love the Dip, a good way to end the day!
