Ola Brown's Baked Beans


For Memorial Day, Fred and I went over to his parents house for dinner. We had the usual ribs, potato salad, and I was in charge of bringing the baked beans.

I used my grandmother's recipe for baked beans and they were a hit!

Ingredients:
1 large can of baked beans (any flavor)
1 pound tube of sausage (I used Jimmy Dean's Reduced Fat Sausage)
3 tablespoons of brown sugar (I use Light Brown Sugar)
4 tablespoons of BBQ sauce (any brand)
4 tablespoons of Ketchup (any brand)
1/2 teaspoon of vinegar

Directions:
Brown the sausage. Combine all ingredients in a baking dish and cook at 325 for one hour.

Green Bean Bundles


I got this from Kelly's Recipes!

Ingredients:
2 or 3 cans of whole green beans
Bacon slices
1 stick of butter
1 cup of brown sugar
tsp of garlic salt

Wrap a handful of green beans in half a slice of bacon. That makes one bundle - keep going for as many bundles as you would like to have. Melt a stick of butter and stir in one cup of brown sugar (more or less depending on how sweet you would like it). Add a teaspoon of garlic salt. Pour over bundles. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Then put under the broiler for 4-5 minutes at the end. DELICIOUS!
