Hi my friends....LOL..don't know what made e think of this joke..but when I started typing this recipe I remembered it. A little boy was sitting down to have dinner with his Mom and Dad. The boy picked up his fork and was about to start eating when his Dad looked at him in surprise. The Dad said to his son..'Well Son, don't you think you'd better say a prayer?" The boy just looked at his Dad with confusion saying "Why Dad????? Mom is a GREAT cook!!!"

Hungry Boy's Casserole

Saute in a large skillet:

1 1/2 pounds ground beef

1 cup celery...sliced

1 cup carrots...diced

1/4 cup onions...chopped

1 clove garlic (optional)

Simmer together while preparing biscuit dough:

3/4 cup catsup

3/4 cup water

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1 1 pound can pork and beans

1 1 pound can kidney beans OR lima beans

Biscuit Dough:

2 cups sifted flour

3 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

4 tablespoons COLD crisco

3/4 cup milk

To make the biscuits, Sift the dry ingredients together and then cut in the crisco. Add milk to make a soft dough. Place on a LIGHTLY floured board and knead a few times. Use as little flour as possible on the board. Roll the dough out in a triangle. Spread 1 CUP of the simmered bean mixture on top of the dough. Roll up like a jelly roll in 1 inch slices. In a baking dish, mix together the meat mixture and the bean mixture. Top with the biscuit slices. Bake at 400* for 20-25 minutes.
