Wednesday I thought we'd have left-over chili for dinner. So I opened a freezer container sniffed and thought I smelled chili. Then I defrosted it and stirred it up and wondered what the white things were but went ahead and added some Bush chili-pinto beans. Also the meat didn't look quite like ground beef. Then I stirred it up some more - that's when I realized that the white things were apples and the ground beef was really sausage. I had mixed the chili beans into the apple orchard bean bake. Wasn't the best we've had but it could have been worse I suppose. I think I need to get a grease pencil so I can write what the left over is.
Apple Orchard Bean Bake - I got the recipe somewhere so don't think it's original with me. Basically you cook up some bulk sausage - we like Jimmy Dean Mild Pork Sausage. When it's cooked up nicely you stir it together with some canned baked beans and a can of tomato soup. Put all this in something that you can bake in - I don't like to heat up the kitchen so I put it in a microwave safe dish. Then core, peel (if you want to) and slice one or two apples and lay the slices on top of the beans and sausage mix. Sprinkle the apples with cinnamon or a cinnamon-sugar mix. Cook until the beans are heated through and the apples are cooked. If baking it's something like half and hour at 350 degrees.
My family will definitely understand how this got mixed up with leftover chili.
