Steve's Chuck Wagon Casserole
by Steven Hicks

Do you ever yearn for campfire food but just don't feel like getting out the tent and heading for the woods?  Make this hearty dish and simply "pretend" that you're camping out.  Later, put your dishes in the dishwasher and then climb into your comfortable bed.  This recipe is reminiscent of the days of wagon trains, cowboys and campfires.  You may want to cook this easy recipe on your next campout!  Kids will love it!


  • 2 16oz cans baked beans (or one 28oz can)
  • 1 16oz package "Little Smokies" cocktail sausages
    (or you can use regular smoked sausages and cut them in bite sized pieces)
  • 1/2 cup honey barbecue sauce
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 8.5oz package of your favorite cornbread mix

Combine beans, little sausages, barbecue sauce and onion in a large saucepan.  Using low heat, stir until heated through and bubbly.  Meanwhile, prepare cornbread mix in a seperate bowl according to package directions.  Pour bean mixture into a ungreased two-quart casserole dish.  Next, pour cornbread batter evenly over bean mixture.  Bake in a 375° oven for 20-25 minutes or until cornbread is done.  Serve with corn or any other vegetable and a fresh green salad!
