Ranch Style Beans

1 # hamburger
1 envelope Lipton onion soup mix
16 oz. can drained and rinsed kidney beans
28 oz. can baked beans
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tsp prepared mustard
1/2 cup water

Brown and break into pieces the hamburger and onion soup mix. Add the
beans to that, and add the sauce stuff to that. Bake in a 2-quart
casserole dish for 40 minutes at5 375°.

This recipe is from 1966 -- back then it was called hamburger, not
ground beef. And the original recipe called for a large jar of baked
beans - B&M brand, I presume; that used to come in a jar, IIRC.

I did this in a 3-quart sauté pan on the stovetop at a simmer, stirring
a couple three times, for about 30-40 minutes instead of baking it in
the oven.

It won't win any prizes for fine dining, but it was tasty and
accompanied by a big green salad with a balsamic vinegar and avocado oil
drizzling.
