Baked Bean Casserole

[Denise]

I just tried today and it is very good and easy.

1 # ground chuck
4 cans (16oz) Bush's Baked Beans
1 T. liquid smoke
1 med. onion, diced
2 T. worcestershire sauce
1 cup bbq sauce
3/4 c. sorghum molasses (I couldn't find in the grocery so I used syrup)
1 green pepper, diced

Brown beef with onion and green pepper, and drain. Put beef mixture into casserole dish ( I used 9X13). Add liquid smoke, molasses and bbq sauce and worcestershire sauce. Punch holes in the lids of the cans of beans and drain the juice out of the beans. Pour beans into casserole dish and mix. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour with the lid off. ENJOY!

Hi Denise - did you serve this as your main entree? What else did you serve it with. Sounds good.

Re: Baked Bean Casserole

this is similar to the recipe made on yesterday's Down Home with the Neeleys. Apparrently you can use any kind of meat. Yesterday, they used shredded pork.

Do You Think This Could Be Done In A Crockpot?

Re: Baked Bean Casserole

sure, SHEL! I would brown you meat of choice first. On the Neeleys show, they sauted the pepper and onion and then dumped everything together. They used a red bell pepper, but I doubt that it matters.

following is The Neely's recipe

Preheat oven to 275 degrees F.
In a large Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Saute the red pepper, onion and garlic until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the baked beans and remaining ingredients and bring to a low simmer. Cover the beans and place in the preheated oven. Bake for 45 minutes.


Neelys BBQ Seasoning:

I've had this recipe on the brain since I first read it! Just got all the ingredients! Love baked beans! We'll make it as a main dish w/ some kind of meat in it.

Re: Baked Bean Casserole

Ro-Ro-I made this last Sunday and did serve it as the main dish and also made Paula Deen's Squash Casserole. It was the first time that I had made either one. I took to my Mom's and everyone loved both. Shel-I guess you could-but not sure if the beans would get too mushy??
