BBQ Cowboy Beans with Biscuits

So grateful for a stocked freezer when coming home from a trip. I grabbed some ground meat, cooked black and pinto beans, and set to work in the kitchen. After thawing it all, I browned the ground meat, then added the beans and some BBQ sauce.

So. So. Simple.

I also had some drop biscuits in the freezer…so I thawed those and poured the cowboy beans over top. Served with a side of frozen corn…a delicious, well balanced manly meal from the freezer.

And the added bonus…plenty of leftovers for lunch!
