It doesn't really sound good. In fact when it was first introduced to us, we thought that it sounded disgusting, but it is oh, so delicious! Kidney beans and bacon is so easy. Chop up some bacon (one 1 lb. package) and fry until browned, add 3 cans of kidney beans (do not rinse) and boil down until thickened.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05791563242787174453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6835787007164377622.post-1012165906722030592012-10-10T02:07:51.848-07:002012-10-10T02:07:51.848-07:00Hi Jill Just back from a 2 week holiday in the gre...Hi Jill Just back from a 2 week holiday in the great Australian outback.2 meals <br />Frankfurt (Hotdogs) & Spaghetti Casserole<br />Hand full of spaghetti cooked to soft ,<br />1 cup of grated tasty cheese,<br />a desert spoon of butter,<br />1 onion diced,<br />1 can of tomato soup,<br />1 cup of water,<br />4 frankfurters boiled and sliced,<br /><br />Melt butter brown onion Add soup and Keithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6835787007164377622.post-5872067306415934042012-09-07T15:25:34.535-07:002012-09-07T15:25:34.535-07:00Shoot, I thought of that idea last month and thoug...Shoot, I thought of that idea last month and thought it might be totally original!
