Frankfurter Casserole
2 tablespoons of butter or margarine
1 small onion, diced
6-8 franks, diced
1 can tomato soup
1 can kidney beans (with juice / not drained)
1 1/3 cup rice (cooked)
1 cup shredded cheese
Melt butter in skillet and sauté onion. Add franks and fry to golden brown. Mix in tomato soup, beans and cooked rice. Salt and pepper to taste. Cover and simmer for 5-10 minutes. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top and let melt.
This recipe is from the sixties, quick cooking rice might not need to be precooked. Similar beans such as black beans and bean-eyed peas could be substituted or added.
A vegan version is as easy as switching vegetable oil for the butter, adding an extra can of beans instead of the hot dogs and leaving off the cheese.
