Pork and Beans Casserole

I ran across this recipe while I was looking for some dinners for cheap. I had wanted to make something like this at one time. I would add a few extra ingredients for taste. I would add some seasoned salt, chopped garlic and onions to the ground beef. I would also most likely put the biscuits on the bottom of a greased casserole dish. With cheese on top of meat and bean mixture. If anyone can think of anything else to add, please comment.

Servings: 6

1 pound ground beef
1 can (16 ounce size) pork and beans
1/2 cup barbecue sauce of your choice, to taste
1 can (12 ounce size) refrigerated biscuit dough (Grands, etc.)
3/4 cup cheddar cheese or cheddar/jack cheese

Directions:
Cook and drain ground beef; add pork and beans and barbecue sauce; cook until heated through. Put mixture in a 3-quart casserole dish wide enough to hold biscuits. Top with biscuits.
Bake at 350 degrees F until biscuits start to brown. Add cheese on top. Cook until all the cheese is melted, approximately 20 minutes total.

Plum-Glazed Country Ribs

This is the second country style rib recipe that I have been thinking about making. Sounded like an interesting and unique recipe to me. I would probably grill the ribs after brushing them with the sauce though.

Servings: 8

Ingredients:

4 pounds bone-in country style pork ribs

1 (12 ounce) bottle chili sauce
1 (12 ounce) jar plum preserves
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

Directions:
Place ribs in two ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dishes. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes; drain. In a small saucepan, combine the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat. Set aside 3/4 cup sauce for serving.
Brush ribs with some of the remaining sauce. Bake, uncovered, for 30-45 minutes or until ribs are tender, turning and basting frequently with remaining sauce. Serve with reserved sauce.

I have been searching for a good country style ribs recipe. I found this one that sounds really good. I also found another one that I will post. 


Servings: 6


Ingredients:
4 pounds country style pork ribs
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced

Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, saute the onion and garlic in oil until tender. Stir in the remaining ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
Drain ribs. Grill, covered, over indirect low heat for 45 minutes, turning once. Baste with barbecue sauce. Grill 15 minutes longer or until meat is tender, turning and basting frequently.

Southern Quiche

I have been looking for good quiche recipe to make. This one sounds really good so I think I will try it out soon. There are many ways to make this recipe your own. You can use bacon instead of sausage. If you like spinach, you can add around 1/2 cup into the egg mixture. Or add green, red, and yellow peppers if you would like.


Servings: 6

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 onion, chopped
1 (12 ounce) package spicy ground pork sausage
4 eggs
1/2 cup Ranch-style salad dressing
1/2 cup milk
1 (8 ounce) package Cheddar cheese, shredded
1 dash hot pepper sauce (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
1 pinch white sugar
1 (9 inch) unbaked deep dish pie crust

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onion until soft. Add sausage, and cook until evenly brown. Drain, crumble, and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, Ranch dressing and milk. Stir in shredded cheese. Season with hot sauce, salt, pepper and sugar.
Spread sausage mixture in the bottom of crust. Cover with egg mixture, and shake lightly to remove air, and to level contents.
Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and bake 45 to 50 minutes, or until filling is puffed and golden brown. Remove from oven, prick top with a knife, and let cool 10 minutes before serving.
