MARY'S BAKED BEANS 
1 lb. hamburger meat salted to taste
1 lg. onion
1 green pepper

Brown together and drain. Add 2 medium cans pork and beans, 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup Ragu spaghetti sauce (chili may be substituted) or you can use 1 cup ketchup and 1 package of French's dry spaghetti mix. Mix together all ingredients and bake in oven 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Option: Instead of baking in oven, add 1 tablespoon dry mustard, dash of Worcestershire sauce and brown sugar to taste to above mixture and slow cook in crock pot for several hours. Recipe is really good if made a day ahead then cooked. Increase ingredients to double for large crowd.

If mixture is dry, add more Ragu or ketchup.
