Monday's Food Tip: Please Your Kids With "Snouts & Beans"

Let’s face it. Kids don’t want "gourmet" food for Halloween. They want something totally "gross" instead.

So tonight, before your kids head out for trick-or-treating or partying, serve them some totally gross "Snouts & Beans." They’ll think you’re the coolest mom on the block.

WARNING: Your husband probably won’t appreciate this meal as much as the kids, so you’ll want to make something else for his dinner tonight.



SNOUTS & BEANS

2 (16 oz.) cans plain baked beans

1 Tbsp. Worchestershire sauce

1/4 c. brown sugar

2 Tbsp. barbecue sauce

1 Tbsp. teriayki sauce

8 beef knockwursts


Empty can of beans into saucepan. Add the sauces and sugar to the beans.

Trim off ends of knockwursts. Slice knockwursts into equal pieces about one inch long, making each cut at the same slight angle. With the tip of a vegetable peeler, carefully hollow out two deep round nostrils on one side of each piece (snout) of knockwurst.

Place snouts in a saucepan and cover them with water. Cook the snouts for about 5 to 10 minutes on medium-high heat. Cook the beans on medium-low, until sauce bubbles and thickens slightly.

Place the snouts on paper towels to drain. Pour the hot beans into serving dish and arrange the drained snouts on top, nostrils up.
