Super Easy Baked Beans
60 ounces canned beans w/pork in tomato sauce
  2 slices bacon,
chopped
1 onion, chopped
3/4 cup brown sugar
  1/2 cup ketchup
2 Tablespoons mustard
Preheat oven to 300º.
Cook bacon until crisp, then set aside to drain. Chop
when cool enough to handle. Cook onion in bacon grease
until just beginning to turn golden. Combine all
ingredients in a 2 quart casserole dish. Bake 1 hour (You
can also cook on top of the stove until hot, but the
flavors won't be as mellow.) Serves 8
Grilled Corn
  6 Tablespoons
butter, softened
1 teaspoon salt
  1 teaspoon pepper
6 ears of corn, husked and cleaned
Preheat grill for medium heat.
Place each ear of corn on a 13x12-inch piece of
heavy-duty aluminum foil. Brush each ear of corn with 1
Tablespoon of butter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper as
desired. Wrap each ear loosely, but seal well. Grill
15-20 minutes, or until as tender as you like it. Unwrap
very carefully and enjoy!
Margarita Pie
 10 ounces pretzels, crushed
1/4 cup sugar
2/3 cup butter, melted
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup tequila  
4 Tablespoons orange juice or Triple Sec
1 cup strawberries, chopped
1 cup heavy cream
Mix crushed pretzels, sugar, and butter and press into
the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Chop
strawberries and allow sit on paper towels to absorb
excess juices. Whip the cream. Mix sweetened condensed
milk, lime juice, tequila, orange juice (or Triple Sec).
Divide the mixture between 2 bowls. Add strawberries and
a few drops of red food coloring to one bowl, and stir
well. Fold in 1 cup whipped cream. Mix a few drops of
yellow food coloring into the other bowl, and fold in the
remaining whipped cream. Spoon into crust, alternating
colors as you like. Freeze for at least 4 hours.
