Ann's Baked Beans

You all asked for it, so here it is, my baked bean's. I've never taken these anywhere that I wasn't asked by 2 or 3 people for the recipe. Easy, and always good. Hope you enjoy them!!!

1. 4 cans ( 16 ozs. each) baked beans, DRAINED (I use Bush's original baked beans)
2. 1 bottle ( 12 ozs.) CHILI sauce
3. 1 Large onion, chopped
4. 1/2 pound sliced bacon, cooked and crumbled (Can use up to a pound)
5. 2 cups packed brown sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large baking dish, combine all of the ingredients above. Stir until blended. Bake, uncovered, for 45-60 minutes or until completely heated through. Serves 12-14.

Sour Cream Cucumbers

Another delightful summer recipe from my friend, Janet Bauer, served at our quilt group. This is also from "Taste of Home" magazine. Always good with burgers, ribs, steaks or just to have, and easy to do. Plan to make it ahead!!

1. 1/2 cup sour cream
2. 3 TBLS. white vinegar
3. 1 TBLS. sugar
4. pepper to taste
5. 4 medium cucumbers, thinly sliced(use vegetable peeler, works great!)
6. 1 small sweet onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings

In a serving bowl, combine the sour cream, vinegar, sugar and pepper. Stir in the cucumbers and onion. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Serve with a slotted spoon. 8 Servings
