One-Pot Meal

Although this recipe can be simmered on the stove, it is nice to have cooking away in a crock pot while you go about your errands on an especially busy day. It is always nice to come home with dinner ready and only a salad or bread to add to the table.

One-Pot Meal

½ to 1 lb. ground beef
½lb. bacon, cut into small pieces
1 cup chopped onion
2 cans (1lb., 15oz.) pork and beans
1 can (1lb.) Kidney beans, drained
1 can (l lb.) butter lima beans, drained
1 cup catsup
¼ cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons white vinegar

Brown ground meat, cook bacon, saute onions - Do individually in same pan to minimize fat. Place in crockpot with remaining ingredients. Stir together well. Cover and cook on low 4-9 hours.

If you don't have catsup on hand, bottled barbecue sauce works just fine, too. Leave out the sugar and vinegar if you opt for bottled sauce.

Thanks to my friend, Ann Marie, who shared this recipe with me years ago!
