The Farming Wife's Cowboy Beans

Photo: Amy Jeanroy

Ingredients

2 quarts jars of canned beans with salt pork or bacon (substitute

1 pound (I admit to using 2 lbs for my crew of 7) ground meat, pork or beef work equally

1 large, sweet onion, chopped

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup black coffee

1 cup ketchup

1/2 cup mustard

Salt/Pepper to taste

Preparation

Brown ground meat in large pan, once the meat has started to release juices, add the chopped onion and s/p to taste.

Once meat is browned and onions are translucent and soft, drain meat of excess fat if necessary.

Return browned meat mixture to large pan. Add remaining ingredients and heat thoroughly. This dish tastes best when allowed to cool and reheat at dinnertime.

About

We like to serve with homemade cornbread or baking powder biscuits. There will be no leftovers in our house. Also works very well in a crockpot while you all go out and cut wood or something. Just brown the meat and add everything else to the crockpot to cook all day on low heat.
