FOOD FRIDAY

Baked Bean Quickie

1 pound ground beef
¼ cup chopped green pepper
½ cup minced onion
½ cup diced celery (or celery salt)
8 ounce can of tomato sauce
½ cup water
1 teaspoon dry mustard
2 tablespoons wine vinegar
½ cup brown sugar
2 cans pork & beans
garlic salt to flavor

After frying ground beef, drain grease and set aside.  Saute onion, green pepper & celery until tender.  Put all ingredients into an oven proof casserole dish and bake 45 minutes to 1 hour at 375 degrees.  This amount will serve 4-5 people.  This is very good left over & warmed up the next day.

NOTE~I use dried minced onion & dried green pepper flakes, especially when they are so expensive to buy fresh.
