Reba's Beans

                                                    These are THE BEST beans - sweet, spicy and delicious!!

Bacon - 5 slices
medium onion
1 lb. ground beef
28 oz. can Campbell's Pork & Beans
1 can stewed tomatoes
1/4 cup barbeque sauce (your favorite)
3 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp spicy brown mustard
1 tsp red pepper sauce


Fry 5 slices of bacon in a deep 10-inch cast iron skillet until crisp. Set the bacon aside on paper towels: drain off grease. Chop one medium onion and brown in same skillet over medium-high heat, about 5-6 minutes. Add one pound lean ground beef and cook until browned. Drain off excess grease. Stir in beans, stewed tomatoes, barbeque sauce, brown sugar, mustard and red pepper sauce.
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 15-20 minutes - until it tastes real goooood! Crumble the bacon over the top before serving.

Makes 6-8 servings

* If you buy your hamburger in bulk at Sam's/Costco like I do, 1 lb. ground beef = 2 cup cooked ground beef.
* I cook my bacon in a cast iron skillet in the oven at 350 degrees for approx. 20 minutes - until crispy.
* The beans can be eaten with a spoon or with tortilla chips - yummy, either way!!
