MIXED PORK N BEANS WITH WIENIES and PASTA SHELLS ALFREDO-- my potluck dishes today

2 dishes made for 1st Sunday of the month potluck today. Lots of great food and great cooperation with serving and cleanup and setup.

=====

MIXED PORK N BEANS WITH WIENIES (this was for @ 40-50)

3 large cans pork n beans

1 can red kidney beans

1can bbq sauce with light pork seasoning

Combine the beans and BBQ sauce with pork seasoning in a microwaveable large dish or pot. (You can use any sort of meat you wish for seasoning. Generally speaking cuts of meat from a pig or pork meat provide the most seasoning. But one can also go meatless for a more vegetatian approach or use diced onions or a moderately spicy vegetable that is diced up as seasoning.)Stir. Cook for 5-7 minutes.

Then add @ 5 tablespoons of black pepper and @ 5 tablespoons of Himalayan sea salt (can use whatever sort of iodized salt you wish)

Stir.

Add 2 cans of diced wienies. I typically get them out of the can and rinse them before adding to the beans.

After adding 2 cans of diced wienies to the pork n beans and red kidney beans with seasonings, cook for an additional 5-7 minutes.

After cooking stir then season further if you feel it is needed.

Some may also wish to bake the combined ingredients for 5-7 minutes to further enhance the taste of the beans.

Can serve hot. Or if serving as a cold salad place in the fridge to cool for @ 6-8 hours before serving.

=====

I made a 2nd dish but it was not really that difficult. I had some pasta shells in white sauce boxes so I made the pasta shells and added the powdery white sauce which did not have flavor. So instead I added a can of alfredo sauce.

PASTA SHELLS ALFREDO

Pasta shells--- cooked for 12 - 15 minutes. I cooked 3 small bags of pasta shells

Add 1 can or bottle of alfredo sauce

Add 5 tablespoons of salt (I use himalayan salt) and 5 tablespoons of black pepper and 2 tablespoons of turmeric.

Stir. Then cook for an additional 5-7 minutes.

Can be served hot/warm. If serving as a cold salad refridgerate @ 4-8 hours to cool before serving.
