My mother's recipe. She always used a very low fat ground round; otherwise the bacon makes it too heavy. This is a little bland, which is appropriate for comfort food. If you make it spicier, it'll probably be very good, but it won't be like Charlotte's.
Ingredients:
3 slices bacon
2 tablespoons minced onions
1 lb ground round
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
paprika
cayenne
1 (5 ounce) can broiled in butter mushrooms
1 (30 ounce) can red kidney beans
1 (8 1/2 ounce) package cornbread mix
Directions:
1. Dice bacon and fry till crisp. Add onion and saute till lightly browned. Add ground round, crumble with a fork, and brown quickly.
2. Add seasonings, mushrooms, and beans. Cover and simmer about 30 minutes.
3. Pour into a shallow baking dish and top with corn bread mix prepared according to package directions.
4. Bake at 450 degrees until top is browned and cornbread tests done.
