BBQ Beef and Beans ($.56 per serving)



This is a hearty and satisfying dish that everyone in the family loves. It was developed one night when we hadn't made it to the grocery store and children were starving half to death (at least they thought so!) so we needed something quick. It has become a regular item on our menu ever since!

Ingredients:

28 oz Maple Baked Beans, canned (approx. $1.50)
12 oz ground beef (approx. $2.25)
2 tbsp bbq sauce of choice (approx. $.15)
3 tsp yellow mustard (pennies)
1 tsp minced garlic (pennies)
1/2 tsp onion powder (pennies)
1/4 tsp salt (penny)

In a medium sized pot, brown the ground beef with minced garlic, onion powder and salt. Once meat is browned, drain. Return to pot and add the bbq sauce and yellow mustard. Saute over medium heat for about 3 minutes. Then add the baked beans and heat through for about 10 minutes over medium heat.
Serve with potatoes for a hearty meal!

Makes about 7 servings; 1/2 cup servings. Feeds a family of four for around $4.00!

Enjoy!
