Using my canned Pork & Beans

1. To each 14 oz can try adding two cups of shredded cabbage (coleslaw mix will work) small slice celery, one small shredded carrot and one small very thin sliced onion. Allow to "steep" in the fridge overnight, stirring once or twice. For a little kick you might want to add powdered mustard.

2. Campfire Bean Stew - 
1 lb of ground beef (onions, bell peppers, garlic)
2 cans of pork & beans 
2 cans tomatoes
Brown the ground beef in the skillet with onions, bell peppers, garlic seasoning, salt and pepper. Add the cans.

3. Add some worcestershire, BBQ sauce, ketchup, Bacos and some finely chopped onions to a can of pork n beans. Mix it all together in a casserole dish and bake til warm!

4. Add a can of your pork n beans to chili for added flavor to your favorite recipe. Or rinse beans well and add to chili for a milder bean taste.

5. Bean Dip - 
Place the Pork and Beans in blender. Add 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder (or 1 teaspoon of minced onion), dash of mustard (any kind), 1 teaspoon of ketchup, 1 tablespoon of sour cream. Blend. 

6. Speedy Baked Beans - 
6 slices bacon, diced
2 medium onions, minced (about 1 cup)
3 large cans (approx. 1 pound 3 oz. each can) pork and beans
1/3 cup chili sauce
1-1/2 teaspoons mustard
In large skillet, cook and stir bacon and onion until bacon is crisp. Stir in remaining ingredients. Heat until bubbly. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, 15 to 20 minutes until liquid is absorbed OR pour into ungreased 2-quart casserole; bake uncovered in 350 degree oven for 45 minutes.

7. Goulash -  Brown 1Lb. ground beef. Drain oil. Add 1 can pork and beans, or I use ranch style texas beans for a little more spice. 1 can cream of mushroom soup, 1 can vegetable ABC soup. Reheat to warm and serve. 

8. EL CHEAPO - 
1 pound ground chuck
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tsp oregano
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 cup ketchup
2 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
2 Tbsp vinegar
1/4 tsp tabasco sauce
1 can of pork and beans
Brown ground chuck with onion; drain. Add spices, ketchup, brown sugar, worcestershire, tabasco and then beans. Mix well and place in a casserole dish. Bake 25 mins at 300 degrees.

9. Chili Macaroni - 
brown one pound of ground beef with one chopped onion and a bit of oil. Stir in one can of tomato soup and one can of beans. In a pot of boiling water, cook up a cup of dried macaroni, drain and add to the beef/bean mixture. Season to taste with garlic powder, onion salt and chili powder.
