Hamburger Bean Dish

This is an easy dish to put together. It makes a hearty meal that your family is sure to love. Serve it with coleslaw, creamy cucumbers and sourdough biscuits for a complete meal. 

You can use any beans that you like best, even baked beans. Fresh tomatoes, onions, and peppers from the garden gives this dish a great flavor.

Ingredients

1 1/4 lbs. hamburger, ground sausage, or half hamburger and half ground sausage
salt and pepper to taste
1 onion sliced
1 sweet pepper, diced
1 can kidney beans
1 (24 oz.) can tomatoes
1/2 lb. bacon, cooked

Directions

Heat oven to 350°.   

Brown the ground beef in a cast iron skillet until it is no longer pink. Drain off excess fat. The beef does not have to be fully cooked. You just want most of the grease out of the dish.

Place hamburger in a casserole dish or leave it in the skillet if it is oven safe. Season with salt and pepper and mix to combine.

Next, layer the sliced onions over the top of the ground beef. Then add a layer of sweet peppers, kidney beans, tomatoes, and finally, the cooked bacon. Cover with a sheet of foil, or a lid.

Bake for 45 minutes.

Notes:

You can also make this on the grill by cooking it over medium low coals. You can also use the slow cooker as well.
