• Pour over meat and beans and stir well.
• Bake at 350 for 1 hour covered.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir bacon and onion in pot until the onion is tender, 7 to 10 minutes; add ketchup, dry mustard, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce, salt, and black pepper.
• Reduce heat to low and cook bean mixture at a simmer until hot, about 10 minutes; pour into a large casserole dish.
• Bake in preheated oven until bubbling on top, 10 to 15 minutes.

CHUCK WAGON BEANS

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven or other large, heavy, oven proof pot fry bacon until crisp and set aside.
• Drain fat.
• In the same pan, cook ground beef, onion and celery until meat in brown and the onion and celery are tender.
• Meanwhile, dissolve bouillon cubes in boiling water.
• Add bouillon to meat mixture with the remaining ingredients and mix well.
• Cover and bake 1 hour and 15 minutes in a 375 degree oven until hot and bubbly.
• Crumble bacon over beans and serve.
• This makes a LOT of beans. I usually halve the recipe.

CHOCOLATE-COVERED COFFEE BEANS

Steps:

• Place 1/2 of the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on low until almost melted, about 1 minute; do not allow chocolate to burn. Remove from the microwave, stir to melt any remaining pieces, and let cool slightly.
• Drop a small handful of coffee beans into the chocolate and drench until completely covered. Fish out with a fork and drop onto waxed paper, making sure beans are separated. Repeat with remaining beans. Let cool until chocolate is solid, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt remaining chocolate in the microwave; do not allow to burn. Stir once and cool slightly, about 2 minutes. Drop a small amount of chocolate-covered coffee beans into the melted chocolate at a time, until completely covered with a second coating. Place on a new sheet of waxed paper and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
