Recipes in the “budget” category usually focus on
money savings. Yet another resource—time—needs bud
geting, too. This Quick 'n Easy Sausage Casserole is fast to
fix and economical, so the dish qualifies for the “budget”
title on all accounts. Convenience comes from using
brown n serve sausages that are fully cooked and merely
need reheating before serving. The sausage links are ar
ranged atop sliced, cooked potatoes that have been sauced
with a mushroom soup/cheese mixture.

New Year’s
Cooking
Down East
By REBA MITCHELL
As far back as I can remember, many people have
had dry beans or peas for New Year's dinner. Some
will only use black-eyed peas. There are those that also
cook hog jowl with their black-eyed peas. Dried beans,
peas, or black-eyed peas with hog jowl eaten on New
Year's day is suppose to bring good luck or a more
prosperous year. This is a belief or myth that has been
handed down for generations.
Since it is the season for peas and beans, I'm giving a
recipe for smoked sausage with peas or dry beans for
those that do not use hog jowls.
Peas & Smoked Sausage
1 lb. dried peas or beans washed
6 cups water
6-8 links of smoked sausage
Bring to rapid boil and then simmer 2-3 hrs. or until
beans are tender.
Peas or beans may be cooked with a meaty ham bone
or cubed ham. If you are on a fat I'estricted diet and
want the ham flavor in your beans or peas, put the ham
bone in a pot and boil 'til meat is fork tender. Remove
meat from pot. Chill the broth in refrigerator until the
fat is solid. Remove the fat and cook beans or peas in
the broth. Remove the meat from bone. Discard the fat.
Cut the lean in bite size pieces and put in with beans or
peas. This reduces calories as well as eliminating fat in
your diet.
