One Cup Casserole

Daughter M makes this simple skillet dish (she is 9). It has a strange combination of ingredients, but it is very good, and quick to make. It could be a meatless meal, if you substituted TVP or tofu for the hamburger, or maybe added another can of beans...Also edible for celiacs, if you check the baked bean cans beforehand.

M's One Cup Casserole

1 lb. ground beef
1 c. chopped onions
1 c. thinly sliced carrots
1 c. finely chopped/cubed potatoes
1 c. water
1 can (14oz.) baked beans
1/2 c. BBQ sauce (we like Jack Daniels or anything with honey)
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese (opt.)

Brown meat in skillet, drain. Add vegetables, cook, stirring occasionally, 5 min.

Stir in water. Reduce heat to med-low and cover. Simmer 10 min. or until vegetables are tender.

Add beans and BBQ sauce. Stir. Cook 5 min. or until heated through. Sprinkle with cheese if desired. (States that it makes 4 large servings. Serves 5 with leftovers at our house.)

This recipe comes from a free quarterly publication called Kraft Food and Family. I like their simple recipes that use ingredients I probably already have in the kitchen.
