Steve's Baked Beans

[Steve]

Here's my favorite baked beans dish... it's almost a meal on its own!

1 pound ground beef
2 small onions, finely chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, finely chopped
1/4 cup celery, finely chopped
1/2 cup ketchup
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 (15 oz.) can kidney beans, washed & drained
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 (15 oz.) cans Campbell's pork & beans
2 strips bacon
Salt & pepper to taste

Brown beef in a skillet, add onions, bell pepper, celery, salt & pepper. Add 1/2 cup ketchup (or more), Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, kidney beans, and pork & beans. Mix thoroughly and put in a bean pot, put 2 strips of bacon on top. Brown under broiler for a few minutes, then bake at 350 degrees F. for about one hour.

What do you mean almost a meal? It is a definate meal.

Thanks for the recipe, my boys will be eating it next week. Looks like something that will be there new favorite meal next to pizza and ice cream.

Steve have you tried your recipe using barbecue chopped pork?

Nope. Try it as-is (with ground beef)... I guarantee it'll be a hit!

Steve I have almost the same recipe, it calls for;
2 cloves of garlic crushed,
1/2 lb bacon fried & crumbled
all the bacon drippings
liquid smoke to taste
Here's a tip: you can fry bacon in the oven @ 375 on a foil lined cookie sheet. No mess to clean up after & the bacon doesn't curl up It stays flat
