Party Beans

This is probably the best baked bean recipe that I have come across. Three kinds of beans are baked with ground round and bacon. I use a 5 quart casserole dish.

Step: 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step: 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp. Drain, crumble, and set aside. In the same skillet, cook and crumble the ground round until evenly browned. Drain.

Step: 3

In a large deep casserole dish or Dutch oven, combine the bacon, beef, baked beans, white beans, and butter beans. Stir in the brown sugar, barbeque sauce, and onion soup mix until well blended.

Step: 4

Bake, uncovered, for 1 hour in the preheated oven.

One of most obvious way to choose a side dish is to look at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and choose more different. If you’re making pasta, go for a simple healthy dish . Making steak? Go for something light. If you’re making stir-fry with rice, it must not a good idea to adjust with make a rice salad.

This also can apply to cooking method . You don’t want to push more often your oven by making to do list three dishes at once in there, or be rounding four pans on the cooking items . But sometimes you can make a dish do double-duty .
