Eggbert & Aloysius

Eggbert & Aloysius were two little invisible “Whosit” that lived on the bodies of two little boys (according to our mother). She would point them out only by spots tickled by her as she explained that “Eggbert” lived up here and Aloysius lived down there. And Eggbert would scurry down to see Aloysius and they would scurry across over to there, tickling her path as she went. This always brought squeals of delight from my brother and I as tiny kids looking for any excuse not to go to bed! OK, that might sound silly, but it is a happy memory that came sailing through the window on this happy day!

This meal for two is simple, tasty, and easy to fix in a hurry for just the two of you. Most of the ingredients may already be in your pantry. Throw in a bag of potato chips and you have a great meal for watching the game or races or comedy show on TV!

Ingredients:

½ lbs Smoked sausage cut into bun length

1 28oz can of baked beans, well drained

2 Granny Smith apples, Peeled, cored, and sliced

2 strips of bacon

Mustard

½ cup of onion, chopped

½ cup of brown sugar

¼ cup of white sugar

2 tbs Worcestershire sauce

3 tbs maple syrup

Bag of potato chips

Directions:

Pre-heat oven to 350 Spray a square 9 inch baking dish.

Peel, core and slice the apples and cover with a damp paper towel to keep from turning brown.

Arrange strips of bacon on a large piece of wax paper to cover the counter.

Lay out 4 slices of apple on each. Draw a line on the apples with the mustard.

Lay the sausages on this and wrap the bacon around, securing with a toothpick. Lay each in the dish.

Chop the onion into a large bowl. Chop the apple slices (about ½ a cup) and add.

Now the brown & white sugars and Worcestershire sauce. With a wooden spoon stir the drained baked beans into this until well mixed.

Spoon around the sausages. Run a big circle of mustard over everything, then a circle of maple syrup.

Bake for 45 minutes. The aroma will be heavenly!

If the bacon looks to wobbly for you, put the sausages into a pie pan under the broiler for 4 minutes per side to crisp it up. Serve on buns with a side of the baked beans and chips! What a delight!
