Bushs Chili Bean Casserole Recipes

3BC (BEST BAKED BEAN CASSEROLE)

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Melt the butter in a skillet over low heat. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, 10 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Cut bacon into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
• Combine the baked beans, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, mustard, and onions in a 2-quart casserole dish. Stir in 2/3 of the cooked bacon and 1/4 of the brown sugar until evenly mixed. Cover the bean mixture with the remaining bacon, and sprinkle with the remaining brown sugar.
• Bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, about 45 minutes.

BUSH'S CHILI BEAN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Brown ground beef. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Mix beans and ground beef.
• Spray or grease sides of casserole dish.
• Pour beef and bean mixture into 2.2L - 2.6L casserole dish (I use glass).
• In a bowl make the corn bread as directed on the box.
• Either spread corn over beef and bean mixture, or mix it into the cornbread batter.
• Pour cornbread batter over beef and bean mixture (or corn if you spread it), and spread cornbread mixture evenly (making a little thin in the center is better, so it doesn't end up raw in the middle.
• Bake for about 35-45 minutes, check for doneness of cornbread (I generally tap it or go off the color -- if you use cream corn, a toothpick will have a hard time coming out clean).
• Let sit for 5 minutes after removing from oven.
• Scoop into bowls and top with optional ingredients.
