Recipe for the Day

[theGinsue]

No one has posted a recipe in here for 11 days so I thought I'd get us back on track here. I've saved every recipe that has been posted here so far so keep 'em coming.

This recipe is really easy, and only has 3 ingredients but once you eat it you'll swear it's got more in it. The ingredients can easily make the sodium level of the soup high so consider getting low sodium items where you can. Also, butterbeans aren't too easy to spot on the shelves in the grocery store, but I assure you that most (if not all) of the chains DO carry cans & they really are labeled "butterbeans".


ETA: My wife went to the store today and got the ingredients to make this. I have adjusted the recipe based on the size/weight of the cans of stuff she was able to get. The cans of stewed tomatoes are actually 14.5oz and the butterbeans are 15oz cans. Since I think these are smaller than what I've used in the past 9not sure though), I cut the number of Keilbasa from 2 to 1, but you should have 2 available in case 1 just doesn't look like it's enough.

Butterbean Soup

1 or 2 Packages Beef Kielbasa
6 - 15oz Cans Butterbeans (do not rinse off or discard the juice) -
2 - 15oz Cans Stewed Tomatoes (and the juice)

Cut the Kielbasa into smaller slices. Brown. Drain off the grease and return to pot.

Add the butterbeans and their juice.

Add the stewed tomatoes and juice. Use your hands to break the pieces of tomatoes into smaller pieces. [Clean your hands first - PLEASE]

While this can be cooked on a higher temperature for an hour or two to get it competed more quickly, it has better consistency and flavor if you cook it on medium or low in a crock pot all day.

As always, enjoy with an ice cold beverage and some veggies! (Oh wait, veggies are IN this one).


If you make this, I expect reports!

German Chocolate Cake isn't actually German. That's all the help I can offer I'm afraid.

1/3 cup of heavy cream
2 sticks of butter

1 3/4 cups white sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 package of graham crackers

In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, 1 3/4 cups sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, 5 eggs and the yolks and mix thoroughly. Add cream and mix only enough to blend.
Pour filling over crust and bake for 10 minutes at 475 degrees. Reduce temperature to 200 degrees and continue to bake for one hour. Turn oven off, but leave cakes in for another hour. Don't worry if it looks a little jiggly in the center.
Chill overnight.

I put these on top of a cookie sheet when baking because some of the butter will run out of the pans

Hey, Ah Pook, it seems like you're missing part of the recipe under the Preparation section.

Specifically, the parts that say:
Now pour the mixture into the pre-warmed iron skillet and bake for ___ minutes.

BTW: The pics are great!


Also, is this recipe set for "high altitude" (anything over 6k ft)?
