What's for supper?

I'll tell you what's for supper at our house! Baked beans and cornbread. Yummy.

Pioneer Woman has an amazing recipe for this fantastically filling food (like my alliteration?). But I wasn't really in the mood to spend a bunch of time in the kitchen today. Last night I made fried chicken, mashed potatoes, country gravy, and peas...and delicious as it was, I just wasn't willing to do that many dishes again.

So today I'd like to pass on the cheater's recipe for baked beans.

Shhhh. It calls for pre-cooked, canned beans. Don't tell your professional chef friends.

Oh yeah -- it also calls for hamburger. As Jennifer stated so eloquently, "Men Like Meat."

EASY Baked Beans

2 cans Lima or Butter Beans
1 can Pork & Beans
1 can Kidney Beans
1/2 lb. Hamburger
1/2 lb. Bacon
1 C. Onion, chopped
1 tsp. Dry Mustard
1 tsp. Salt
1 C. Ketchup
3/4 C. Brown Sugar
Drain lima and kidney beans. Brown hamburger, bacon, and onion and cook until nearly done. Add hamburger mixture to beans and spices. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hr 20 min, covered. ***Or, if you're like me, follow all directions, then throw the entire mixture into your crock pot. Cook on low for approximately 4 hrs.***

Your carnivores won't be disappointed!
