Okay, this is pretty brilliant. It combines my favorite things; frugal and delicious food, using up items already in my pantry, and finding out-of-the-box uses for things! This is from www.thriftyfun.com
To each 14 oz can try adding two
cups of shredded cabbage (coleslaw mix will work) small slice celery, one small
shredded carrot and one small very thin sliced onion. Allow to
"steep" in the fridge overnight, stirring once or twice. For a little
kick you might want to add powdered mustard.
Campfire

I like to add some worcestershire, BBQ
sauce, ketchup, Bacos and some finely chopped onions to a can of pork n beans.
Mix it all together in a casserole dish and bake til warm!
Also add a can of your pork n beans to chili for added flavor to your favorite recipe!

Bean Dip
Place the Pork and Beans in blender. Add 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder (or 1 teaspoon of minced onion), dash of mustard (any kind), 1 teaspoon of ketchup, 1 tablespoon of sour cream. Blend. This
makes a very tasty dip for corn chips (Doritos, etc).
Sandwich Spread
This also makes a nice spread for a vegetarian sandwich with sliced tomatoes, cheese and lettuce. Hope you like this as much as we do!

I buy these beans when they are on
sale -- 6 for $1 and the other beans are usually a $1 a can....so I use them in
bean soup, chili, taco meat, and any place else that calls for beans.
For example, when we make chili and say it calls for 4 cans of beans - we use two pork and beans and two of another kind.
You can also rinse them off to ease off on the pork/bean flavor.

This may sound disgusting but it is
really good and moist. Top it with cream cheese frosting and you will think you
are eating a spice or carrot cake.

I like to put the beans in a pan
bring to a simmer and then add two eggs to poach in the beans.. Pan needs a
tight lid.
put in a baking dish and add catsup,
mustard, brown sugar, onion and bacon. bake slow for a couple of hours.
yummy!!!
I call it goulash. Brown
1Lb. ground beef. Drain oil. Add 1 can pork and beans, or i use ranch style
texas beans for a little more spice. 1 can cream of mushroom soup, 1 can
vegetable ABC soup. Reheat to warm and serve. My kids loved this when they were
growing up.
I put them all in a casserole with
bacon, green peppers and green onions, chopped onions, bbq sauce, brown sugar,
and cooked ground beef. Put in a 350 oven for about an hour or until it reaches
your desired taste.

I know this is going to sound
strange but growing up my family put pork and beans on top of scrambled eggs.
It is really tasty. I had to convince my husband to try it and he now likes it
too! He thought we were crazy.
i use them in chili. also do baked
beans by chopping onion and green peppers and sauteing them in a little bacon
drippings. add a can of beans a little molasses or brown sugar, a little
mustard and if needed a shot of catsup or b-b-q sauce. you can then bake them
or cook on top of the stove.
brown a pound of ground beef (season
to taste), add a can of beans and ketchup to taste (about 1/8 cup)... serve on
bread or burger buns for easy sloppy joes - add onions to the beef if desired
Chili Macaroni
brown one pound of ground beef with one chopped onion and a bit of oil
stir in one can of tomato soup and one can of beans
In a pot of boiling water, cook up a cup of dried macaroni, drain and add to the beef/bean mixture.
season to taste with garlic powder, onion salt and chili powder.
Can also be served over spaghetti instead of stirring in the macaroni.

Some additions I use with Pork &
Beans are:
Turkey sausage, Beef sausage, Keilbasa (all the "rope" kind"), turkey ham, cut into chunks and of course cut up hot dogs.
Fry up 1 lb hamburger, add a couple cans of P&B, serve with fried potatoes. Not too bad mixed all together either, VERY filling meal!

One easy way to use them is to throw
a can or two of these in a crock pot with 2 or 3 other types of heartier beans
like black beans, chick peas, ect. You may want to drain some of the liquid
from the beans. Add some barbecue sauce and mustard and let them cook slowly in
the pot, you can even add cut up meat like polish sausage if you want. Good
with corn bread.
First I just "doctor" it up by adding a little
catsup, some bacon fat, brown sugar and a very small amount of prepared mustard,
and some instant onion. I just taste test until I get it right.
Next is a
casserole. Place beans in a casserole, top with slices of spam then slices of
cheese. You may cook this on top the stove in a corning ware pan or bake it in
the over until hot and bubbling and the cheese melted. I usually doctor the
beans before putting them in the casserole.
