KIM’S BAKED BEANS


Kim made these for last year’s Super Bowl party and brought them to the 4th of July party this year.  Scott joined us this year on the 4th and immediately said “that woman can cook!”  He requested that I blog her recipe, and I am finally getting around to it.  They are really scrumptious – thanks Kim for making them for us and then sharing the recipe.  She calls them "Land Your Man Baked Beans" so if you want to please a man, head to the store for the ingredients.   (BTW women like them too!)

1-1/2 lbs. ground chuck
1 pkg. Taco Bell taco seasoning
2 – 28 oz. cans Bush’s original baked beans
1 lg. onion, finely chopped
1 lg. green bell pepper, finely chopped
1/3 c. catsup (try hot catsup for a kick)
2 TB yellow mustard
4 TB light brown sugar
3 TB Cholula Hot Sauce (or any hot sauce such as Tabasco)
6 slices bacon

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Spray a 16X10 casserole dish with Pam.

Brown the ground chuck with the taco seasoning.  Combine beans, onion, pepper, catsup, mustard, brown sugar and hot sauce in the casserole dish.  Add the seasoned beef and stir well.  Place bacon on top and cover the dish with aluminum foil, leaving a corner folded back for venting.  Bake for approximately 1 hour. 

Remove foil and continue baking about 30 minutes or until bacon is brown and excess liquid has been cooked out.   Serve warm or at room temperature.
