Tried it Thursday

BBQ COWBOY BEANS WITH BISCUITS from 5dollardinners.com

Ingredients

1lb lean ground beef

2 garlic cloves, crushed

1 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed

1 15 oz can pinto beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup BBQ sauce

1 15 oz can petite diced tomatoes, drained

Drop biscuits

Southwestern frozen corn

Directions

1. Brown the ground beef with the crushed garlic cloves. Drain and return to skillet. Add the black and pinto beans, as well as the BBQ sauce, diced tomatoes and stir through. Let simmer over low heat for 5-10 minutes.

2. Make drop biscuits. (Grands take 13-17 minutes to bake)

3. Prepare the corn as directed on package. (corn takes ~6 minutes to nuke)

This made for a pretty quick (~30 minutes from start to finish) and easy dinner. I tweaked the recipe by adding one medium chopped onion and a chopped bell pepper to the beef/bean mixture. Also, I substituted Pillsbury Grands for the drop biscuits. The consensus was 1) the recipe needed more bbq sauce and 2) it needed a little more bite, and 3) add the peppers at the end so they're more crunchy.
