Marvelous Recipes

I discovered this recipe in an old church cookbook and decided to try it. It was different from my usual baked beans but very good!

1 (15.5 oz) can chili hot beans
1 (16 oz) can pork and beans
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
1/4 cup tomato ketchup
4 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled

Combine all of the ingredients in a 1-1/2 quart casserole; blend well. Bake, uncovered, at 300 degrees F for 1 hour.

A delightful, one-pan dinner that is not only quick and easy to prepare but tastes marvelous!

4 slices bacon, chopped
1 pound lean ground beef*
1 (16 oz) can baked beans
1-1/2 cups frozen whole kernel corn, thawed
1 envelope onion soup mix
1 cup water
1/2 cup tomato ketchup
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

In a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, cook bacon until crisp, about 3 minutes. Add ground beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes; drain and return to skillet.

Stir in all the remaining ingredients; mix well. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring often. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes, stirring frequently.

May be served over hot cooked pasta, corn bread or hamburger rolls, if desired. Makes 4 servings.

* Ground turkey can be substituted for the ground beef.
