Cowgirls in the Kitchen – Mary Connealy

by

 

This was always a family favorite.

I’d make it and always imagine it was what cowboys ate sitting around a campfire at the end of a long day of a cattle drive.

I usually called it GRUB

MY ONLY ADVICE on this ten minute recipe…most of that ten minutes is browning the hamburger…is it’s a BIG recipe.

As the children grew up and moved out, I started leaving out the beans one can at a time. In recent years we just use one can of baked beans.

Three Bean Hamburger Casserole

AKA Grub

1 lb. hamburger (browned)

1 can pork & beans

1 can butter beans

1 can kidney beans

I skip the extra beans most of the time and just use pork & beans. Otherwise the recipe is too big. Add:

½ C. brown sugar

½ C. catsup

1 T. mustard

Heat thoroughly, serve.

That’s it. Spend the time while the hamburger is browning opening the cans, then dump it all in and heat it up. DONE!!

Chasing the Horizon

Her only chance at freedom waits across the horizon

Upon uncovering her tyrannical father’s malevolent plot to commit her to an asylum, Beth Rutledge fabricates a plan of her own. She will rescue her mother, who had already been sent to the asylum, and escape together on a wagon train heading west. Posing as sisters, Beth and her mother travel with the pioneers in hopes of making it to Idaho before the others start asking too many questions.Wagon-train scout Jake Holt senses that the mysterious women in his caravan are running from something. When rumors begin to spread of Pinkerton agents searching relentlessly for wanted criminals who match the description of those on his wagon train, including Beth, she begins to open up to him, and he learns something more sinister is at hand.
Can they risk trusting each other with their lives–and their hearts–when danger threatens their every step?

  5. that is why I will boil 3+ pounds of burger in a bit of water, drain, cool and put in freezer bags to use in recipes – can then run hot water over it, put it in a pan to brown up while thawing and finish up rest of recipe quickly!

  6. I have a recipe that I use like this but it doesn’t have the brown sugar just ketchup and mustard and no butter beans. My husband loves it so I make it pretty often.

  8. I use a recipe like this that’s called Calico Beans. It has onion, hamburger, pork and beans, lima beans, pinto beans, brown sugar, ketchup, and kidney beans. I’ll have to try this version! Either one is going to make enough for me to have lots of leftovers!! lol!! Cooking for one is even harder than cooking for two!!

  13. Yes! I appreciate it when you guys share recipes with us. I love using the different variety of beans.

  14. A friend of mine has grown sons living with her and needs to make plenty; thanks for a hearty recipe that’ll feed a crowd. She says she’ll try it soon.

  16. Thanks for sharing the recipe. We will have to try it. I am looking forward to reading Chasing The Horizon.
