When ground beef is no longer pink, drain all juices from pot and add baked beans, bacon and potatoes. Season with garlic and chili powder and add salt and pepper, if needed. Cook until mixture is hot and potatoes are fully cooked. Ladle onto plate with bread and butter and enjoy a hearty and delicious meal around the campfire.Servings: 6-8
