Bean Hash

This recipe has been in my family for as long as I can remember.
When I was a kid, my mom made this recipe often...
stretching her food budget as far as she could.

When I was a young mother and
had to stretch my food budget as far as I could...
I made Bean Hash for my own family.
Back then, I made bean hash as a main dish,
serving it with cornbread muffins.
Now I serve bean hash as a side dish for picnics and barbecues.

   
Bean Hash goes by many different names in my family...
such as: Bean Crash, Bobby's Beans, Bean Dish,
and my personal favorite, A$$hole Casserole.
All names are courteous of my son, Bob.
