SATURDAY NIGHT SPECIAL

1 lb. Ground beef
8 oz. Pork and beans
2 cups Canned tomatoes, drained (or use more if desired)
1 tsp. Salt
1 large Onion, thinly sliced
2 slices Bacon (raw), cut into pieces
1/4 cup Brown sugar

Brown meat in hot skillet. Add pork and beans, tomatoes and salt. Pour half of the mixture into ungreased 7" x 11" baking dish; add layer of onion and cover with remaining beef mixture. Top with pieces of bacon; sprinkle top with brown sugar. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour, uncovered.

Yield: 8 servings

This has been a family favorite for many years. I serve it with baked potatoes. This freezes well for future use if doubled or made ahead to serve later without doubling.
