First week of the New Year and it was 51 degrees this morning when I ventured out to get the morning papers! But that's going to ending real quick, as they're saying by Wednesday it will be zero or below to start the day with a high of 10 degrees, got to love this Ohio Weather! Forgot a couple of items when at Kroger yesterday so this morning I went back to pick them up. Back home for the day watching the Football Playoffs. For dinner tonight a favorite Comfort Food of mine, Beans and Smoked Turkey Sausage (Beans and Weenies).
While growing up who didn’t like the old-fashioned Campbell’s Beans and Weenies! So it’s Beans and Weenies but I kicked it up a bit. I used 1 Butterball Hardwood Smoked Turkey Sausage (sliced into thin 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, 1/2 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 one pot 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 smokieness 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 favorite of mine! I also had a slice of Buttered Klosterman Wheat Bread. For dessert later Del Monte No Sugar Added Peach Chunk Cup.Butterball Hardwood Smoked Turkey Sausage
