Geesh, there are a million good recipes out there.
One of my favs to make is:
Root Beer Baked Beans made with canned beans. Simple and different.
Ingredients
3 bacon slices
1 small onion, diced
2 (16-ounce) cans pork and beans
1/2 cup root beer (not diet)
1/4 cup hickory-smoked barbecue sauce
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/8 teaspoon hot sauce
Preparation
Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp; remove and drain on paper towels, reserving 2 tablespoons drippings in skillet. Crumble bacon.
Sauté diced onion in hot bacon drippings in skillet over high heat 5 minutes or until tender. Stir together onion, crumbled bacon, beans, and remaining ingredients in a lightly greased 1-quart baking dish.
Bake beans, uncovered, at 400° for 55 minutes or until sauce is thickened.
That's it! Easy enough.
Also, an easy coleslaw recipe that I make is: Mix a package of coleslaw mix with Ken's Vidalia Onion dressing. Add a little onion powder & garlic powder, some ground black pepper. Voila! Yummy coleslaw!
How about making the yummy Corn Cassarole that's one this site? That was a hit at 2 pool parties I went to recently and I had to send everyone the recipe. It's a keeper!!
Also, how about a BBQ shredded beef or chicken done ahead of time in the crockpot? That's always good and goes a long way!!
Good Luck!!
