Homemaking | Cookout Side Dish | Raw Milk Ice Cream | Homestead Hayride | Gardening

Slow down and enjoy simple living with me. I invite you to join my our family for a simple weekend cookout on the homestead. From the garden and pasture to the farmhouse and kitchen, we're finding contentment in the slow pace of simple everyday tasks. I hope this inspires you to carve out time in your own life for meaningful experiences, whether it’s through gardening, sharing a meal, or simply being present with family.

Chop and saute 1 large onion and 1 or 2 green peppers in bacon grease.
In a large casserole combine 1 can of pork and beans, 1 can of kidney beans, 1 can of lima beans, and 1 can of large lima beans. (if preparing for a larger crowd add another can of pork and beans.)
In a saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar, 1 cup or less of brown sugar (depending on how sweet you like your beans), 1 cup of ketchup, and 1 Tbsp of mustard.
Combine beans, bacon pieces, ground beef, onion, peppers, and sauce in a casserole dish and bake in a 350-degree oven for an hour or so.
