Frankly, My Dear . . . : The Unemployment Cookbook

Looks deelicious, doesn’t it? That thar’ cover is an honest photo, taken in the test kitchens for New Inklings Press. Okay, not really. It was taken by my brother, but he is a professional photographer, and he did format the cookbook for me way back when. So, kudos to realycreative.com for some amazing work, yah?

I was thumbing through the Cookbook tonight and realized I haven’t posted a recipe for a while. So, in Nippers’ commentary fashion, I give you our feature story, the Hot Dog Casserole.

The Unemployment Cookbook: Hot Dog Casserole

Ingredients

1 pkg hot dogs, sliced into “coins”. I prefer gold, but you can't always eat that.
1 can (16 oz) green beans, drained. If you feel like traveling but don't have your passport, use French cut.
1 can (16 oz) Cream of Mushroom soup, undiluted. That means don't add anything to it but love.
1/2 tsp worcestershire or soy sauce. Or 1/4 tsp of each.
1 can (2.8 oz) French fried onions. Did you know they make them with a cheesy flavor now?
1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded. You can use a pre-shredded mix-Cheese blend for a variety.

Instructions

Combine hot dogs, green beans, 1/2 can of French fried onions, 1/2 cup cheese.
Add in soup and worcestershire/soy sauce. Mix thoroughly. You want the flavors to play well together.
Bake uncovered at 350 for 25 minutes.
Remove from oven.
Top with remaining French fried onions and cheese.
Bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes.

Best served with bread. Or a salad. Or a glass of wine. Or all of the above. But not frog legs. Just sayin.

Sweeten my tea and share:

What’s on My Plate? You decide!

Hey, peeps! I’m gonna try something a little fun and participatory.

The Unemployment Cookbook: What’s on your plate?

So, I’ve decided part of my new meal plan should include recipes from The Unemployment Cookbook so I can also do a foodie blog. I know, I know . . . DUH. But I guess I’ve been so focused on writing NOLA and keeping a clean house (insert sarcastic laughter here) that I didn’t give much thought to it.

And then it hit me. It hit me like a sweet tea on a humid day. Like a misty shade tree on a concrete jungle. Like, well, like an idea worth sharing. Are y’all ready?

I want you to decide what I make.

Yup. You read that right. The fate of my weekly meal is in your hands. That’s not to say I’m only eating once a week. More like, you’re responsible for the meal I make. A meal. “One of”. Not the “only”. Anyway, let’s continue . . .

Here’s how it works: Each week I’ll post three recipe choices on my Facebook Page and pin the photos to the top of the page. You get to hop on over and click “like” for the photo of the recipe you want me to make and blog about. Now, normally, I’ll try to have the selections available for you Monday through Wednesday. By 9pm Wednesday, the photo with the most “likes” will be the recipe I make. Depending on my schedule, the recipe blog will post no later than the following Monday, at which time a new recipe selection will be available. Once a recipe has been made, blogged, and eaten, it’s out of the running.

Now I know today’s already Wednesday, so I’ll give y’all until Friday noon to make your choices. ‘Cause when I leave work Friday, I’m going grocery shopping!

At this rate, it will take quite some time to get through all the recipes, but hey. We’ve got time, haven’t we? And hunger? And a budget? So I’m thinking this could totally be a win-win situation.

Oh, and don’t worry if you don’t have Facebook. You can also vote by leaving a comment on the blog posts.

So, you wanna give it a try?

Which recipe should I make this weekend? Tell me in the comments.
