OMG So Yummy!

Today was a comfort food day. I think it had something to do with a huge snowstorm that's turning most of PA, MD and VA into a winter wonderland. I'm not much of a cook but I'm getting there, slowly but surely.

This recipe was quick and easy and for those of you that don't eat meat, those Morningstar/Boca crumbles are a fitting substitute.

Here's the recipe:


INGREDIENTS
1 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
1 small onion, chopped (about 1/3 cup)
1 cup barbecue sauce (I used Sweet Baby Rays Honey BBQ)
1 can (15 oz) spicy chili beans, undrained. (Mine came from Aldi)
12 sandwich buns, split
3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (3 oz)
DIRECTIONS
1. In 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook beef and onion over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is thoroughly cooked; drain.
2. Stir in barbecue sauce and chili beans. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; simmer uncovered 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
3. Spoon mixture onto bottoms of buns; sprinkle with cheese. Top with tops of buns.

We served these with fries and some wonderful pickles from Kitchen Kettle Village.
