The story behind "Poor Dad's Casserole" can be told but only if asked for.
The recipe is easy, fast and cheap.
Cream of mushroom soup, little smokey sausages, green beans, salt and pepper, hot sauce (optional).
Take a rectangular 9"X13" casserole dish, layer with grean beans then little smokeys then cream of mushroom soup straight from the can. Salt and pepper to taste, add several dashes of hot sauce if wanted. Layer again in same order.
Cover with tin foil (or equivalent), cook at 325 degrees for about 20 minutes. Serve with crackers or chips as a side.
Cheap, easy, fast, and the kids will eat it.
Makes about 5-7 servings.

Yum, sounds good. I'll try it when I get back to Charleston. Something else good with little smokeys is chilie sauce (bottled kind) and grape jelly. Mix the sauce and jelly and throw in the smokeys and simmer for a while on low heat and you have something even the most finicky eater will enjoy. Now, sir, what's the story behind the casserole? Please?

Those are the best recipes. Someone should make a book of those with extra credit added for "serving a large numer" and "low fat"!
