Assembly Directions:
Put hamburger and onion in a skillet and cook until
burger starts to brown and onion is tender. Drain
any grease. Set cooked burger aside. Open the cans
of beans and drain the juice from each can into a
large bowl. Don’t add the beans yet. Add the
ketchup, mustard, vinegar and brown sugar to the
bowl of ‘bean juice’. Stir until well mixed. (You
may need to use a whisk to get the mustard mixed
in.) Add the beans, the hamburger and the bacon.
Stir to mix. Salt to taste, if desired.
Freezing and Cooking Directions:
To Freeze: Put bean mixture in a one gallon
freezer bag. Seal, label and freeze.
To Serve: Thaw at least overnight in the
refrigerator. Put mixture into a 2 quart casserole
dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Serve hot.
Note: For best results, this dish really needs to
bake. The flavors and textures blend during baking.
If you want to serve it from the freezer with just a
quick re-heat in the microwave, bake it before
freezing.
Comments:
This is a wonderful dish that everyone loves! You
can sprinkle a handful of grated cheddar cheese on
top before serving, if desired. You can use Lima
Beans instead of Butter Beans, if you prefer. Lima’s
have a tougher texture than the other beans, and
will be more noticeable as you eat the beans. For a
large gathering, these beans keep great in the
crock-pot. Leftovers reheat great! Serve with a
salad and rolls as a main dish, if desired.
