Hungry Jack Casserole
I can’t lay claim to this recipe but I have been making this “kid’s favorite” for many years and it is still a big hit with all ages! I believe it may have come from Pillsbury in the 70’s. For you younger chefs and working mom’s, this is an economical tasty meal that can be put together in a very short time with the little (or big) ones helping. It is a very forgiving recipe that always seems to please the appetites!
Ingredients:
1-2 lbs. ground beef (depends on how many growing kids you have in your household or on your team!)
1 medium onion – chopped
1 32 oz. can pork and beans
1 cup BBQ sauce
2 TBSP brown sugar
1 tube of Pillsbury Hungry Jack Biscuits (or any FLAKY biscuits)
Salt to taste
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
