2 tbs shortening
1 cup chopped onion
1 lb ground beef
Mix these ingredients and cook until brown.
Add 1 tsp salt, 2 tsp vinegar, 1 cup brown sugar (less is better)
1 cup catsup
2 cans pork and beans
1 can drained kidney beans
Put into a large, greased, flat casserole dish and bake at 350 for about 35 min. or until bubbly. You can lay strips of bacon on top before you bake it if you like.
I made these when my boys were little and called them Cowboy Beans. I cut the sugar by about half.--Jane Ellen
