Notes
Tips:
Ground meat- If you prefer something other than ground beef you could use ground turkey, chicken or another ground meat mixture you enjoy.
Baked beans- Use your favorite brand and flavor.
Veggies- This is a great recipe to sneak in veggies. Sauté diced carrots, bell peppers, mushrooms, etc...
BBQ sauce- Use your favorite bbq sauce brand and flavor. The sweet and spicy would give it a nice kick.
