Easy, cheap and yummy. This layered casserole is a big hit with all my guy friends
INGREDIENTS
1 (28 ounce) can baked beans
2 (16 ounce) packages hot dogs, sliced
1 (7.5 ounce) package corn bread mix
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Pour the can of beans into a 9x13 inch baking dish so they cover the bottom. Arrange hot dog slices so they cover the beans as completely as possible. If too much juice seeps through to the cornbread, it will take longer to cook. Prepare cornbread mix according to package directions. Spread the batter evenly over the hot dog layer.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until cornbread is cooked through. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Heat oven to 350°F. In skillet, saute mushrooms in butter until tender. Blend in flour, bouillon and water. Stir in evaporated milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Add turkey, wild rice and water chestnuts. Pour mixture into buttered 12"x8" baking dish. Sprinkle top with almonds, cover and bake 30 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
A few suggestions- rather than a recipe I'll give you a few tips that I use; I substitute all red meat with ground turkey breast. SUPER low fat, high in protein and tastes great (for burgers, lasagna, meatloaf, tacos etc.) If the recipe calls for eggs, try egg substitute which has no fat and 30 calories per serving, OR use egg whites. Instead of cheese, use reduced fat or fat free cheeses. They're just as good and so much less fat. For noodles, opt for high fiber, grain noodles (some even come low carb) rather than white noodles which are high in carbs and have little nutritional value.
