If you’re looking for a quick and hearty meal for a cold night, this Hamburger Bean Soup might hit the spot. It’s from the Michigan Consolidated Gas Company.
I can’t say I’d try the version that uses hot dogs, but you sure might. And I”ll bet you’ll add some more flavor in addition to the condensed bean soup and worcestershire sauce. How would you spice this up for modern tastes?
