Five O'Clock Franks

This recipe is from my 1975 Campbell's Cookbook titled...
A Campbell Cookbook Most-For-The-Money Main Dishes.
I did however tweak the recipe a bit, substituting one soup
for another, and also using another kind of noodles.



Five O'Clock Franks

1 (l6-oz.) package franks, cut into 1/2" pieces
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 Tablespoons butter or margarine
1 (10-3/4 oz.) can Campbell's Fiesta Nacho Cheese Soup
2 Tablespoons ketchup
1/3 cup water
1-1/2 cups uncooked rotini noodles
8 oz. frozen cut green beans, cooked and drained

1.)  In a 10-inch skillet, brown the franks and onion in butter until tender; stirring often.  (I browned the franks and onion over medium to medium-low heat within 5 minutes.)

2.)  Stir in the soup, ketchup, and water.

3.)  Add the cooked noodles and cooked green beans; stir and heat through.

4.)  Season with salt and pepper, according to taste.

5.)  Yields: 5 servings

6.) *Note: Campbell's original recipe states to use a can of cheddar cheese soup, but I opt to use Fiesta Nacho Cheese, which gave this hot dish a bit of a 'kick'.  Also, I cooked the frozen green beans with 2 tablespoons of water, in a 900 watt microwave oven for 9 minutes; stirring them after 4 minutes and 30 seconds.  I should also mention, I cooked the noodles for 9 minutes.
