Ma'S Stick To Your Ribs
A quick, comforting one‑pot skillet dish with savory ground beef, creamy tomato soup, and hearty pork and beans—perfect for busy weeknights or family gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and brown the ground beef until fully cooked.
- Drain excess fat, then stir in the can of pork and beans and the can of tomato soup.
- Simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it reaches a hot, bubbling state before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding chopped onions or bell peppers while browning the ground beef. If you want a smokier taste, a dash of smoked paprika can elevate the dish. You can also substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option. For a vegetarian twist, try using meatless ground beef alternatives or a mix of beans instead of ground meat.
Serving Suggestions
This hearty dish is perfect on its own but pairs beautifully with cornbread or a simple green salad. For a complete meal, serve it alongside some crusty bread or rice. You could also serve it with a dollop of sour cream or shredded cheese on top for added richness.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, simply warm it in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. You can also microwave it in a covered bowl in 1-minute intervals, stirring in between until hot.
