Cheese Recipe 26: Beef and Bean, Cheese Casserole

This recipe will make enough to serve about 6 people.


Ingredients:

1 large cans pork and beans (28 – 32 ounces)


½ cup red and green pepper, gutted and finely chopped


½ teaspoon salt


¼ teaspoon pepper


½ cup shredded Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese


½ cup onion finely chopped


1 pound lean ground beef

Method:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees before starting the cooking. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, brown the beef. Drain excess fat off, very well. Toss the peppers and onion in, sauté until peppers are caramelized. Add the remaining ingredients, reserving half of the cheese. Get a large casserole dish out and grease it. Place the mixture into the dish and sprinkle with the rest of the cheese. Put into the oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until well mixed. Serve immediately.
