Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 28 ounce can Maple cured bacon baked beans, undrained (could use just about any kind of beans)
  • 3 to 4 medium potatoes

Instructions

  • Boil the potatoes covered in water, remove, peel and chop or slice. I use red potatoes because they hold up well in a recipe.
  • In a skillet on top of the stove fry the hamburger and onion. Drain the hamburger. Combine ground beef, onion, beans, and cooked potatoes in a skillet, cover and simmer for about 20 minutes.

Notes

Optional ingredients: 1/3 cup ketchup or barbecue sauce, 2 to 3 tablespoons yellow mustard, you could use smoked sausage or pork sausage or even hot dogs instead of ground beef. If you like spicy, you could add whatever spices you like, hot sauce or cayenne.
