Passed down through the family since the '60s, uses beans from a can with that orange sauce!


1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 clove garlic, finely minced
32 oz of canned baked beans (the recipe says Campbell's, I used Bush's because I already had them)
1 8oz can tomato sauce
1 tsp vinegar ( I used apple cider vinegar)
1 tsp dry mustard
1 small pinch thyme
1 Tbsp brown sugar

Brown meat in a skillet. Drain off grease and transfer meat to a casserole dish. Saute pepper, onion, and celery until limp/translucent, add garlic and saute another minute or two, and add to the beef. Mix the remaining ingredients (except beans) in a small jar; cap it, shake it, and add the mix to the beef. Stir thoroughly. Fold in the baked beans. Cover the casserole and bake at 350* for an hour.
 
Sounds very similar to a recipe called "cowboy beans" that I make with venison.

Thank you for sharing.
