The Great Western BBQ Bonanza!
Well, well, well! Here we are again, my fellow food enthusiasts, about to embark on another culinary journey. This time, we’re taking a detour towards the wild, wild West with a delightful Western Style Barbecue. Get ready to wrangle some frankfurters and butter, my friends!
Taming the Frankfurters
Our story begins with the humble frankfurter, four of them to be exact, each cut into 1-inch pieces. Now, I know you’re wondering why we’re not simply grilling these bad boys whole. But trust me, this isn’t your average hot dog cookout. We’re about to elevate these frankfurters to a level that will have them wishing they were born this way!
Over in our trusty saucepan, we brown these little chunks of joy in 2 tablespoons of butter. The sizzling sound they make as they frolic in the buttery bath reminds me of a catchy tune. It’s like they’re singing, “We’re getting all crispy and golden, just for you!” And who am I to deny them their moment in the spotlight?
Adding a Little Chunky Love
Next up, we add a can of Campbell’s chunky old-fashioned beans with ham soup. Now, I can sense your skepticism from here, and I get it. Soup in a barbecue? But folks, this is where the magic happens. The beans and ham add a hearty, savory depth, taking this dish from a simple barbecue to a feast fit for a cowboy.
The Golden Corn Revolution
Joining the party next is a 12 oz. can of whole kernel golden corn with sweet peppers, drained. The corn kernels add a sweet crunch, balancing out the smoky, rich flavors. And the peppers? They bring just the right kick, like a surprise party for your taste buds!
Lima Beans: The Unsung Heroes
Then there’s the 8 oz. can of lima beans, drained. I know, I know, lima beans don’t usually get an invite to the barbecue party. But in this recipe, they’re the unsung heroes, adding a buttery texture and a subtle earthy tone that ties everything together.
The Barbecue Sauce Finale
Finally, we can’t forget the star of the show, the barbecue sauce. Half a cup of this smoky, tangy goodness gets drizzled in, tying everything together like a Texas-sized bow.
Heat, Stir, Repeat
All the ingredients now in the saucepan, it’s time to let the heat do its thing. We stir occasionally, allowing the flavors to meld and mingle. It’s like a little hoedown happening right there in your kitchen!
The Green Pepper Ring Garnish Extravaganza
Just when you thought we were done, we add a final flourish. Green pepper rings, my friends! They’re like little halos for our Western Style Barbecue, adding a vibrant crunch and a pop of color. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a dish that’s as pleasing to the eyes as it is to the taste buds?
And Voila!
What you have before you now is approximately 5 cups of the most mouth-wateringly delicious Western Style Barbecue you’ve ever encountered. It’s a testament to the fact that with a little creativity (and a can of Campbell’s chunky soup), even a humble frankfurter can be the star of the show. So, grab your cowboy boots and your appetite, and dig in, y’all!
