Buffalo Gulch Beans
1 pound lean ground beef
1 large onion chopped
1/2 pound bacon fried and drained
2 15oz. cans kidney beans
1 15 oz. can butter/lima beans
1 15 oz. can pork and beans
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup molasses
1 Tbls liquid smoke
1 Tbls apple cider vinegar
1 cup ketchup
2 or 3 sausages cut in 1" pieces
Brown the beef and onions, drain the grease. Boil the sausage and pierce to remove the fat. Use any sausage (not wieners) kielbasa, brats, spicey etc. Add bacon and remaining ingredients. Using a 12" Dutch Oven, simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. About 12 to 20 servings, depending on the size of the eaters.
Triple Berry Easy Cobbler
1 3lbs Bag of frozen Triple Berries or Blue Berries (Costco) use fresh if available
1 12 oz. can of 7UP (not diet)
1 Large white cake mix
2 Tbls tapioca
Put the berries in a 10" Dutch Oven, stir in 1/4 of the cake mix and the tapioca. Spread the rest of the cake mix evenly over the top of the berries, pour the 7UP evenly over the cake mix. Put on the lid, cook over coals or in the oven at 350 degrees. When it smells done, it's ready. If using coals place more on the lid so the cobbler 'browns'.
