Noodle Wieners

As men, we all like food that is (a) filling, (b) tasty and (c) fun to play with.

This gem fulfills all three of these needs.

I am going to give you a simple version followed by a more complex version and then some optional features.

What you will need:

Package of spaghetti (hard word to spell)

At least 10 wieners

A jar of spaghetti sauce (easy version)

A can of whole corn (advanced version)

A can of red beans (advanced version)

A pound of hamburger (advanced version)

Tomato Paste (ask someone in the store if you need help)

Package of enchilada seasoning (advanced version)

Two handfulls of shredded cheese (optional)

Sour Cream (optional)

Simple Version

Step 1:  Cut the wieners into one-inch segments. 

• Step 2:  Slide, uncooked (otherwise this is a really hard step) spaghetti through the wieners, 2 to 4 strands apiece.
• Step 3:  Boil just as you would any spaghetti with the following condition:  Do not allow the water to boil aggressively.  I did this on my first batch and the wieners sort of exploded.  So keep the water hot but not “rolling”.  It should take about 10 minutes to cook.
• Step 4: Drain water, add sauce and eat.

Complicated (and more tasty) Version

Steps 1 through 3 are the same as above.

Now we need to make our own “sauce”

• Step 1:  Cook the hamburger until all the pink is gone.
• Step 2:  Add half a small can of tomato paste, half a cup of water and a tablespoon of Enchilada seasoning. Stir until well blended.
• Step 3: Add a can of corn and a can of red beans. Stir until everything is warm
• Step 4:  Use this concoction like sauce.  It will be much thicker but that is okay.

Optional(s)

Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top.

Add a dollop (a unit of measure equal to a huge heaping tablespoon) of sour cream.

Eat and enjoy
