CAMPFIRE HAMBURGER AND BEANS
Although I did make this "car camping", when my sons were young, it is a quick and easy, at home, top of the stove, one skillet dish. Sometimes, I use bacon, sometimes not. You might want to use less catsup, sugar, and molasses if you want it less sweet.

HOMESTEAD COWBOY BEANS
I have an enormous family and all of the men go trail riding several times a year and these beans are one of the things they look forward to. My aunts and I put together their favorite combination several years ago, and have it ready at their camp, and they are some happy cowboys! You can mix different beans to your liking (lima, kidney, etc.), but the boys in our family like this mixture the best.

CAMPFIRE BEANS
Steps:
- Place beans in a large pot with a tight-fitting cover and add enough water to cover beans by about 2 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, place bacon, onion, and garlic in a medium cast iron frying pan and brown the mixture, while stirring, over medium heat. Add bacon mixture to beans. Reduce heat and simmer until beans are soft, about 3 hours total cooking time, adding more hot water if needed. Add chili powder, sugar, salt, pepper, diced tomatoes with green chiles, and jalapeno peppers. Simmer for another 10 minutes and then serve.
Tips:
- For a smokier flavor, use a Dutch oven or cast iron pot over an open fire.
- To save time, use pre-cooked ground beef or leftover roast beef.
- Add a can of diced tomatoes or tomato sauce for a richer flavor.
- Season the beans to your taste with salt, pepper, chili powder, and garlic powder.
- Serve the beans with cornbread, tortillas, or rice.
