"Corny Beanie Weenies!."
(from a country preacher in Mississippi…wife & 2 teenage sons)
Mix one can of good baked beans
We use a good sized can of beans (14-16 ounces, I think) and
get a kind that we like (maybe with brown sugar, onion, and bacon)!.
There are several kinds of good baked beans!.
and a package of Oscar Meier Weiners (all sliced up)!.
with a can of whole kernel corn (drained)
Any way, heat up these three ingredients, and serve with brown bread
(maybe toasted !?) and a glass of milk!.
It doesn't get any easier than this, and is suprisingly good!
P!.S…!.!.Might put ingredients in a casserole dish and top with corn muffin mix!.
