This hearty, crowd-pleasing dish doesn't take long to make but tastes as if it simmered all day. With bread and a salad, it's an entree. —Jolene Lopez, Wichita, Kansas

Western-Style Beef and Beans

beef

onions,

celery ribs, chopped

beef bouillon granules

water

(28 ounces each) baked beans with molasses

ketchup

mustard

garlic cloves,

salt

pepper

bacon,

In a Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the beef, onions and celery until meat is no longer pink; crumble meat; drain. Dissolve bouillon in water; stir into beef mixture. Add the beans, ketchup, mustard, garlic, salt and pepper; mix well.

Transfer to an ungreased 3-qt. baking dish. Cover and bake at 375° for 60-70 minutes or until bubbly; stir. Sprinkle with bacon.

These baked beans were delicious. Perfect side dish for a hamburger and hotdog cookout!

I have made this recipes many times since it first appeared in the magazine.  My family loves it.  My husband prefers it without the bacon.  He is not a fan of the smokey flavor bacon puts in things.  The kids and I like to put some shredded cheese on top and eat it with tortilla chips.

We love this and it's also a great way to recycle left over meat loaf. I make half the recipe for the 4 children when we are having chili.

I've made this several times and my family loves it.  Can't say how it might be the next day because there are never any "left-overs".

I cut the recipe in half since I wasn't having a party! Omitted the bacon and just cooked it on the stovetop. Much better than plain old baked beans out of a can.

I make this recipe often - sometimes as a main dish, but by reducing the amount of beef and liquid, I can turn it into a side dish for picnics as well.

Great for Potluck or even Happy hour when you have food

I love this recipe.  I usually cut the amount of  ground beef in half  and reduce the bouillon and water so it's more like a side dish than a main meal.

!for more.  I always bring copies of the recipe, because I get requests.  Since I have been making this for fourteen years. Ever since I found the recipe in the magazine I have been making it.  In fact people ae calling them them Tara's magazine beans!  There are hardly ever leftovers,but when I make them for the family, they are even better the next day.
