Another “Recession Recipe” from the 1971 Betty Crocker recipe card library.

• 1 can red kidney beans, drained
• 1 can lima beans, drained (you can use frozen too.  They cost the same and they don’t taste so horrid, so they are easier to choke down as you watch Fox news.)
• 1/2 c. spaghetti sauce with mushrooms (from a tinned can most likely)
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (I know, shredded cheese is insanely expensive.  Somewhere in your kitchen, probably near your fondue pot, is a thing called a cheese grater.  If you rub the cheese on it, there will magically be shredded cheese!)
• 4 to 6 frankfurters (those are hot dogs.)

Heat the oven to 375.  Mix beans, spaghetti sauce, onion and cheese in an ungreased 1 1/2 qt casserole.  Arrange frankfurters (hot dogs) on top.  Bake uncovered 30 minutes or until bean mixture is bubbly and frankfurters (you get it by now) are light brown.

Betty Crocker recommends serving this with a molded salad.  I will have to dig up some recipes for those.
