Cowboy Beans

[easttenngator]

Out west they might make these another way but around here this is the way we do them.

2 large cans of baked bean ( i prefer plain because of everything you are going to add to them)

3/4 of a pound ground beef or ground venison or ground bear meat

1 med onion

1/3 cup of brown sugar

2 squirts of bbq sauce

Start by browning the meat,once done strain off grease.Cut your onion into small pieces add those two things into your beans along with the brown sugar and bbq sauce and cook on med/low to med heat until hot.

this is great for family get togethers or covered dish parties.

I also add 3 cloves of garlic and 1/2 of a hot pepper cut thinly(if you don't add the seeds it won't be as hot), but most of you might not like it that way.
Here is a list of other things you can add to make your beans better

Mushrooms(I hate them)
Bell peppers
Maple syrup
Black olives
ground turkey
Mustard
ketchup


I know one person that adds corn,carrots and stewed tomatoes but to me that is just plain nasty. i added it because we all have are own tastes.
