I have been craving for Pork and Beans and the other day I fed that craving. We don’t really eat Pork and Beans, I just heard and saw this when I am still a toddler and since then I am fascinated what does it taste like. When I am in college and we had a tree planting, my friend and I had an agreement I would bring cooked rice and she would bring our viand. To my surprised she brought two cans of Pork and Beans., so instead of  feeling disappointed I feel excited well at least I can taste what Pork and Beans tasted like.

As what I have read the recipe for typical American canned pork and beans varies considerably, but generally consists of navy beans stewed with pork or rendered pork fat. At present, pork and beans is usually also stewed with tomatoes, but this is a 19th century development. Pork and beans is a dish that is routinely purchased canned and reheated on a stove or in a microwave oven.

The other night I have fried egg and few sausages, I was so hungry that I have no more time to wait if I have cooked a sour soup, so in just few minutes eating time. The sausage is quite different huh,  I missed eating tender juicy hotdogs.

That’s what I cooked last Monday because we have a lot of left over cooked macaroni from the spaghetti that my husband cooked on my birthday. He used two packs of macaroni which is more than we need, I used some of it and we freezes the remaining macaroni.

Instead of using evaporated milk like what is usually done in Philippines I used cream powder which I bought in Nonghyup Supermarket.

My ingredients:

Carrots, cabbage, cream powder, olive oil, garlic, onion, salt, black pepper and water

My Procedure:

• I sauteed the garlic and onion in olive oil, then when the garlic and onion are little brown I added the carrots and mixed them together with salt
• When the carrots are partially cooked, I added water and little amount of the cream powder (You can add chicken strips if you like)
• Then I add the macaroni and when the soup boiled I added the remaining cream powder and cabbage
• I also added salt and pepper to taste, then I let it boiled until the carrots are soft to eat
• Serve hot
