Burger Bean Casserole

A childhood comfort food recipe. This was my favorite casserole as a child growing up and now it brings up fond memories of my childhood.

• 1 Tbls Mustard

• 3 Tbls Brown Sugar

• 1/4 tps Smoked Paprika

• 1 10oz can biscuits or bisquick biscuits from scratch

• 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese

○ In a cast iron skillet, brown the ground beef and onions, draining of excess grease.

○ Add the garlic at the end of browning the meat to ensure it is not overcooked.

○ Stir in beans, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, brown sugar.
