Recipe - Hot Dog Stew

This is one of those great recipes that (almost) everybody loves, is fairly nutritious, uses ingredients you probably have on hand, and is FAST.

• 1 large can Campbell's tomato soup (the 'family size' can)
• milk
• 3 cans corn
• 3 cans green beans
• 6-9 carrots
• 1 onion, chopped
• 24 (or so) turkey hot dogs

First, open all of the cans and drain the veggies.  Pour the tomato soup into a large pot.  (If you have a canning pot, this is an excellent alternative use for it!)  Fill the tomato soup can with milk.  (I use 1% milk, myself.  My mom uses water instead of milk.)  Add milk (or water) to tomato soup.   Turn stove on low heat.



Peel and chop carrots and onion.  (I forgot the carrots, which is why they aren't shown in the picture. Oops.)  I use my pampered chef Chopper, so it goes quickly!

Add the chopped onion and carrots to the soup.  Add the canned corn and green beans.  Stir. 

Turn the stove up to medium heat.  Stir periodically.

Cut the hot dogs up.  I cut them into little circular discs, with each hotdog producing 8 or so discs.  You can cut them up smaller if you prefer.

Add hotdogs to soup.  Continue to stir periodically.

Bring to a boil, then lower to simmer.  Check the tenderness of the carrots.  As soon as they are tender enough to chow down on, dinner is ready!
