Baked Beans

So, here is the recipe. I now don't have to be the only one to bring these to family parties. The recipe I have is smaller, so this is the doubled version (this will make a whole crock pot). If you want less, just cut it in half.

1 pound ground beef
1 pound bacon, chopped
2 medium onions, minced

Cook the above together until meat is cooked - drain and put in the crock pot.

2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
2 16 oz cans of red kidney beans, drained
2 16 oz cans of pork and beans
2 15 oz cans of butter beans (you can find small butter beans only at Wal-Mart), drained
2/3 C. brown sugar
1/2 C. sugar
1/2 C. barbecue sauce (it really doesn't matter what kind)
1/2 C. ketchup
2 Tbsp mustard
4 Tbsp. molasses

Mix all the together in the crock pot, and cook on high for 4-5 hours. Stir after a few hours.

Easy Chicken Casserole

Hey girls, long time no post, so here goes. I made this last night, and it was super easy, and quite good. Chad said it reminded him of something mom used to make, so maybe your husbands will eat it up too!

2 C. uncooked elbow macaroni
1 large can of chunk chicken
2 C. shredded Cheddar Cheese
2 C. Milk
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 4 oz can of sliced mushrooms
1/4 C. chopped onion (could do without - but if you do put them in cook them a little bit first they were still a little crunchy!)

Mix all the ingredients together - place in a 9x13 pan, and bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown.
