Julia's Collections

When my mother passed away 20 years ago, my sisters and I had the not-so-fun job of going through her treasures. No one spoke for her recipe collections, so I grabbed them. You see, my mom was a fantastic cook. It seemed a shame to me to have those recipes go unclaimed! Well, here we are, 20 years later; and those recipes have rested in their special place on my closet shelf waiting to be tried . . . .

A Family Favorite - Baked Beans

Here's another recipe from my mother-in-law, Vera. We've made this recipe for years and love it. I made it in my crock pot rather than the oven. And who knows what a half bottle of catsup is? I just dumped. I have no idea how big the bottles were when Vera started making this recipe. I drain the bacon grease before cooking the onions and peppers so that I can rationalize that it's not that fattening.

BAKED BEANS
1 large can pork & beans
1/2 lb. bacon (cut in pieces & warm through - not crisp)
Take out bacon & add to beans. In bacon grease warm & soften 1 onion & 1/2 green pepper (chopped). Take out of grease & add to beans. 3 tsp. worcestershire sauce, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 bottle catsup. Bake at 250°F 3 hours.
