Love the site! I have linked you, if that is ok. On the baked bean chili- how many pounds of ground beef?

Cherylann said...

Glad you like it! Yes, the link is great. I use 4, but you could use more or less, depending on your needs.

We feed 8 off each meal (6 for our family at dinner, 1 for dh's lunch the next day and 1 for dh's grandmother who doesn't cook anymore).

Instead of increasing the menu size (to accomodate dh's lunch & dh's gma), I've just left it as is and started serving smaller portions and more sides. I figure it wouldn't hurt any of us to get more vegs or smaller servings of the main dishes, lol.~Cherylann
