Рецепт Hamburger Baked Bean Casserole
It may seem spur of the moment but it’s been on my mind for some time so a move to a new home is now imminent. Yes, I LOVE my home and I’ve shed many tears at the thought of leaving it but leaving it I am. It’s simply too big and too much work and without my kids living here anymore, it’s simply more than one person needs. I will probably howl at the moon a bit because I’m so torn but I’m moving forward at the same time.
One thing I vowed to myself this week was to make a super conscientious effort to prepare everything I can using goods from my pantry and my freezer. I had some thawed ground beef and went to pull some diced tomatoes out of the pantry…but no, say it ain’t so… there weren’t any! By the way; I have a feeling that vow will be broken; I need my tomatoes.
I did mix it up just a bit; substituting barbecue sauce for ketchup and kicking it up a notch with the addition of some chili powder and a dash or two of liquid smoke. Who says you can’t go home again? I did but just did a bit of renovating in the process!
I can’t deny that the sweet element is what I’ve always found appealing; something about that mixture of molasses and brown sugar with a touch of mustard and a hint of smokiness that transports this dish far beyond mere baked beans; the addition of ground beef makes it a whole meal in a bowl. I garnished them last night with some caramelized onions but it can be bare or even topped with a dollop of sour cream. Perfect right?
