A camping recipe from Sunny. This recipe was discovered on a long cross country trip with my family many years ago, thus the name: Camp Stuff. We were almost done with our trip, and I still had these ingredients left over. So, in an attempt to fix a nice meal without wasting food, I combined everything to make a great dinner for all of us. It is very filling and will feed the neighbors, if they stop by to visit. The flavors all mix well together, and the kids love it.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 pound Kielbasa sausage
- 1-2 pounds ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 15-ounce can pork and beans
- 1 15-ounce can red beans
- garlic granules, to taste
- salt and pepper, to taste
- cottage cheese, as a side
- dill pickles, as a side
Preparation:
Brown the ground beef and onion together in a skillet or kettle. Either work fine. Slice sausage into 1-2 inch slices and add to ground beef just before it's completely brown. Drain any grease and add both beans. Stir in a small amount of water to help all ingredients absorb flavors. Basically, you can just rinse each bean can out and that is enough water. Once all ingredients are mixed together, simmer for about 10 minutes and serve with a side dish of cottage cheese and a dill pickle slice. I have made this for regular dinner meals as well. Also works well in the heat of the summer, because you can also cook it outside on the bbq grill or an open fire pit. Please note that salt, pepper, garlic or any other seasonings used, are more of personal taste. I personally use salt, pepper and granulated garlic. The rest just comes from the sausage and how the onions flavor the ground beef. You can experiment any way you see fit.
Servings: as needed
