This recipe is from my 1975 Campbell's Cookbook titled: A Campbell Cookbook Most-For-The-Money Main Dishes. I did however tweak the recipe a bit, substituting one soup for another, and also using another kind of noodles.

Ingredients

  • 1 (16 oz.) - pkg. franks, cut into 1/2" pieces
  • 1/2 cup - chopped onion
  • 2 tablesp. - butter or margarine
  • 1 can - (10-3/4 oz.) campbell's fiesta nacho cheese soup
  • 2 tablesp. - ketchup
  • 1/3 cup - water
  • 1-1/2 cups - uncooked rotini noodles
  • 8 ounces - frozen cut green beans, cooked and drained

How To Make five o'clock franks

  • Step 1
    In a 10-inch skillet, brown the franks and onion in butter until tender; stirring often. (I browned the franks and onion over medium to medium-low heat within 5 minutes.)
  • Step 2
    Stir in the soup, ketchup, and water.
  • Step 3
    Add the cooked noodles and cooked green beans; stir and heat through.
  • Step 4
    Season with salt and pepper, according to taste.
  • Step 5
    *Note: Campbell's original recipe states to use a can of cheddar cheese soup, but I opt to use Fiesta Nacho Cheese, which gave this hot dish a bit of a 'kick'. Also, I cooked the frozen green beans with 2 tablespoons of water, in a 900 watt microwave oven for 9 minutes; stirring them after 4 mins and 30 sec. I should also mention, I cooked the noodles for 9 minutes.
