WESTERN BEEF CASSEROLE 
1 lb. ground beef
1 env. dehydrated onion soup
1/2 c. water
1 c. catsup
2 tbsp. prepared mustard
2 tbsp. vinegar
2 (1 lb., 12 oz. each) cans pork and beans
Bacon slices

Cook and stir the beef on medium heat, until red color is out. Turn it into a 2 1/2 quart baking dish and add soup mix. Pour the 1/2 cup water into skillet and stir to loosen browned bits and juices; pour into casserole. Add remaining ingredients, except bacon slices. Stir with a fork to mix well. Place uncooked bacon slices over top.

Bake in 400 degree oven for 30 minutes or until bubbly. Makes 8 servings.

To reduce fat in this dish, the bacon slices may be cooked separately in skillet, drained and then place on top of casserole.
