Cowgirl Beans

  • 1 pound regular ground beef or ground turkey

  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon EACH vinegar and Worcestershire Sauce
  • 8 ounce can no-salt-added tomato sauce
  • 28 ounce can vegetarian baked beans or 3 cups homemade baked beans

First take out your trusty large skillet.  Add the ground meat and fry it over medium heat until the meat is cooked through.  Break the meat up into smallish pieces with a fork as you cook it.  Drain off the fat and rinse the meat in hot water.  Drain well; return the meat to the skillet.  Add the onion and garlic and saute until tender. Add everything else listed above, choosing either the canned beans or the homemade leftover beans.  If the mixture seems dry, add a little water for simmering, perhaps 1/4-cup. Cover the skillet and cook the mixture for about 10 minutes over medium-low heat, or until everything is hot, and the flavors have blended some.  If the mixture is too thin then simmer it longer, until it is as thick as you like. Spoon the mixture over cooked brown rice or whole wheat egg noodles.  Serve with spinach, and fruit salad.  This is a really satisfying meal.  Makes 6 servings.
