Dinner (or lunch for this city girl) was something to look forward to. One of the staples of this meal was my mother-in-law’s Roundup Bean Casserole. It can be the main entree of a meal or a hearty side dish.

Ingredients

• 1 lb. Ground beef
• 1 can Kidney beans (drained)
• 1 can Butter beans (drained)
• 1 can Pork and beans
• ½ Cup Ketchup
• ¾ Cup Brown sugar
• 1 tsp Dry mustard
• 2 Tbsp Apple cider vinegar
• Chopped onion and bacon slices (to your preference)

Instructions

1. Brown beef, seasoning with salt and pepper. Drain any grease.
2. Combine all ingredients in a 13×9 or 2 quart casserole dish. Bacon can be cut up and mixed in or slices laid on top of the casserole.
3. Bake uncovered for 1 hour or until bubbly at 350°.
