SKILLET BEANS
I don't know where our mom first found this recipe. If memory serves me, she started making them when I was in elementary school. After that, seldom was there a family get together, potluck, or picnic that didn't include these. My boys still insist that this is the one indispensable dish at any holiday dinner. Because they are good cold, they are also great for picnics! These work great in an electric skillet.
3/4 lb. ground round
1 med Onion, chopped
Salt and Pepper to taste
3 16oz cans Campbell's Pork and Beans*
3 tsp prepared yellow Mustard
3-4 Tbls Brown Sugar
Spray a large skillet with no stick spray. Break up gr. round and add to skillet with onions, salt and pepper. Brown on med till onions begin to clarify. Add beans, mustard and brown sugar. Reduce heat and simmer until onions are completely clear and sauce has thickened, around 40 mins or so.
* In later years, Mom used Bush's Original Beans and omitted the Br. Sugar. I slightly prefer the original recipe, the boys slightly prefer the other. Either way, they're very good!

Way to go!! NOW, if you take this recipe, pour it into a baking dish, cover it with cheese and crushed tortilla chips and bake@375 for 5-10 min, you have the recipe I told you about.
You can also add bacon or substitute 1 cup BBQ sauce for the mustard and brn sugar.
