Thrift Share and a Recipe

On my way to the grocery store this morning I couldn't help but make a small detour to visit my local Goodwill. Our local GW chooses a price sticker color and all of those items are 50% off on Sunday and Monday.

I spotted my treasure as soon as I turned the corner.

McCoy 3 quart bean pot


I believe these were produced in the late 1970's.

I am going to a birthday party for my grandson this afternoon, I decided to purchase the bean pot and make a three bean casserole for the celebration.

This is what I will be making to put inside my bean pot.


Three Bean Potluck Casserole

Ingredients

1/2 pound bacon
1 pound ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1/2 cup ketchup
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 Tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 16 ounce can baked beans
1 15.25 ounce can kidney beans
1 15 ounce can butter beans

Directions

  1. Place bacon in a large deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, break into medium pieces and set aside. In same skillet, brown beef and onion. Drain fat.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C)
  3. Place bacon/beef mixture in a large bowl and stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar mustard, baked beans, kidney beans, with liquid, and butter beans, with liquid. Mix well.
Place mixture into a 9X13 baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour uncovered.

Today I will be using my McCoy Bean Pot instead of the baking dish. My family enjoys these beans.

Looking forward to see what everyone else found this week.
