Frugal Recipes Readers' Recipes Joyce's Bean Barbeque When my 3 kids were growing up, I had several ways of stretching a pound of ground beef, using other ingredients I normally kept in my pantry. This was their favorite. Later, I fed it to my grandkids. Even now, my husband and I use it as a budget stretcher. Since there are just 2 of us, we use less meat. Easy to increase by adding more meat and beans, if you have more mouths to feed. * * * Ingredients: 1 lb. ground beef Directions: In non-stick skillet, stir and brown ground beef until meat loses pink color. (I set electric skillet to 300 degrees.) Drain off grease. Drain most of the liquid (I use the can lid) from the pork & beans; discard. Remove the little chunks of pork fat. Add drained beans and rest of ingredients to skillet; stir to mix well. Cook just long enough to heat through. Serve on hamburger buns. Should make about 8 sandwiches...sloppy joe style. Whole process takes no more than 15 minutes. Note: You can also roll this filling up in a flour tortilla as a wrap. Shredded cheese might also be good to try sprinkled on mixture after loading it on bun, or try adding pickle slices or relish. Use your imagination! I always serve this with potato chips, cottage cheese, and
fresh fruit. As a diabetic, I use just 1 T. brown sugar, serving on whole
grain buns with low-fat cottage cheese and baked potato chips. * * *
