By á-6640

Versatile - can change from main dish to side dish. Can cook to be served now, or place in slow cooker for later.

Crock-pot version is listed on the directions. Usually will double the ingredients for the crock-pot version and may increase beans & decrease ground beef if for side dish.

Ingredients

• 1 lb. ground beef
• 1/2 c. (1 med.) sliced onion (or substitute dried onion)

• 1/4 tsp. pepper
• 1 can pork & beans or baked beans (I like Bush's)
• 1/2 c. catsup
• 1/2 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce
• 2 Tbs. brown sugar
• 1 Tbs. vinegar (used apple cider vinegar last time)
• dash Tabasco sauce - optional

Step 1

In large fry pan, brown ground beef and onion; drain excess fat. Add remaining ingredients; mix well. Simmer, covered 20-30 minutes until flavors are well blended. Serve hot.

For crock-pot version:
Double the ingredients.
To make as a side dish vs main dish, can decrease amt of ground beef &/or increase amt of baked beans.
