[net.cooks] 5-bean dish

cam (08/02/82)

This simple dish is always a hit.  It can serve up to 20 people, but
I've made it for 2 people and frozen some of the leftovers.
I think it's a great improvement over ordinary baked beans.


Hot Five Bean Dish

1/2 lb. hot pork sausage bulk
1/2 lb. reg./mild pork sausage bulk
1 C. chopped celery
2 C. chopped onions
1 16 oz. can pork and beans
1 16 oz. can kidney beans, drained
1 16 oz. can lima beans, drained
1 16 oz. can yellow (wax) beans, drained
1 16 oz. can green beans, drained
1 Tbs. prepared mustard
1 can tomato soup
1 12 oz. can tomato paste
1 C. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. chili powder

Mix all together.  (This will initially appear very thick, but the
sauce gets thinner as it cooks.)

You have a choice of three ways to cook this:

1.  1 1/2 hrs. in an oven at 350 degrees
or
2.  4 hrs. in a crock pot on high
or
3.  all day in a crock pot on low

(I have always used one of the crock pot methods.)
