This is a simple, homey recipe passed down from my grandmother. She made it with ground beef but it can be made with any ground meat you like. I make it exclusively now with ground turkey.
Ingredients:
2 lbs ground meat, of choice
4 slices bacon
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 red pepper, chopped
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 (55 ounce) can baked beans (recommend bush's)
8 ounces tomato sauce
Directions:
1. Saute the bacon in a large pan over medium heat. Remove and drain on paper towel.
2. Saute the chopped meat, onion, peppers and garlic in the bacon renderings until the meat is browned.
3. Chop the bacon into 1/2 inch bits and add to the meat.
4. Add the tomato sauce and beans.
5. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer 20-30 minutes.
6. Serve over white rice.
