    What to Serve with Best Baked Bean Casserole Recipe

    It’s a meal on its own, but if you wanted to add a nice salad you could. I wouldn’t recommend potatoes or rice with it because I think that would be too much starch. It’s already a heavy meal with all the beans.

    Try these yummy recipes on the side: 

    Variations

    • Instead of ground beef, try substituting in ground chicken or turkey.
    • You can add in a can of chili for a spicy kick.
    • If you don’t want to use bacon, replace it with ham instead.
    • Add or substitute in other types of beans such as red beans and pinto beans.

    1. It seems that temperature over here are about to become “normal” and this one will serve us just perfectly for the week end. Thank you Stacey !

    2. Oh my goodness, this sounds perfect. I love the idea of chili without the chili spices. Thank you for sharing at Tasty Tuesdays.

    3. Is 2 1/4 cup of beans the amount you’d get from 1 can?  How many ounces?

      1. I would buy two cans to be safe. I think it works out to about 18oz.
