Lollie Bean

The bean that is Lollie's

Bean of Lollie.

****

This dish is named after my aunt, Lollie. She has a knack for finding great recipes. I was raised on Lollie Bean. It's a dish I go-to every fall. It's hearty and feeds a crowd. And although its appearance resembles chili or taco soup it's not. Lollie Bean is it's own kind.

1 1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 cup diced celery
1 large onion diced
3 cans Campbell's Minestrone soup
2 cans Ranch beans, drained
1 can Rotel tomatoes
1 cup water
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

In a large pot, cook celery and onion in vegetable oil until tender. Add the ground beef and brown thoroughly. Drain. Return to stove and add remaining ingredients. Simmer for 30 minutes until nice and warm. Serve over white rice. Top with cheddar cheese and Frito scoops.

You can thank me {and Lollie} later.
