Thrown Together Beans in a 6" DO ingredients: (2) slices of bacon- slice up in fine pieces 1/2 lb of hamburger 1 medium onion [chopped] 1 small or 1/2 green bell pepper [chopped] (1) 15.5oz can of pinto beans (1) 4oz. Tomato sauce 1/2 cup of brown sugar (1) clove of garlic minced 1/2 teaspoon of dry mustard I grabbed my trusty 6" skillet. I cooked up the bacon. I dumped it into the DO. I then cooked up the hamburger. Drained the hamburger. I threw the onions & bell pepper and cook for a bit. I then threw them into the DO. In a bowl I mixed up the tomato sauce & brown sugar. I tossed in the garlic & mustard. I threw the beans in and gave it a good mix. I then threw the bowl mixture into the DO. It was pretty packed out. I mixed it all well. I dropped it into a 350 degree oven for a while. It actually turned out pretty good. I guess my reasoning for this write up is to give inspiration to others who are just getting started in this whole style of cooking. ...and to let people know it's ok to throw stuff together and give it a try. It's liberating and fun.
