Layered salad always goes over well as does the Top Ramen one. Just stick to whatever you know well and write down
what is brought by every one else so you can see what not to
bring next time. This is cheating my hubby says but I believe its good planning ahead. Few desserts, welll next time bring a Whacky Cake, cup cakes, moon pies, Too many salads, bring steamed veggies in a crockpot, Lots of rolls
bring fruit breads. It endless once you see what others bring. Good Luck, Angeline

1 large can pork and beans
1 can red or black beans
1 can baby butter beans
1/4 lb bacon cut up
1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 c brown sugar
1/2 c catsup
2 T vinegar
1/2 t salt
1 T lemon juice
2 T soy sauce
1 t liquid smoke
Dash celery salt
Dash garlic salt
Drain beans except pork n beans. In skillet brown bacon, ground beef and onion. Combine all these cans of beans with browned ingredients. Add together remaining ingredients and put in greased dish. Bake 1 hr at 350*.
Cheaper way - I start with dry beans and cook them myself which means I start the day before and soak them. I just go through the bean aisle and take one of almost every kind and mix them up. That gives me enough beans to last quite a while. I still buy the pork n beans in the can whichever is cheaper.

I suppose these small variations depend on your individual preferences, but they always go fast and many people ask for the recipe. We also sometimes use these beans as a main course because it has the meat right in it. We just add buttered noodles or baked potatoes and a salad. It's great.
