This was pretty good. Next time, I will make it with ground beef instead of the steak (don't think it makes it that much better for the increased effort) and will use something besides butter beans.

Great recipe. I served this on a layer of Fritos to resemble what I used to eat as a child...'Frito Pie'. Also, I found it easier to just purchase two slices of bacon from the butcher section instead of an entire package and then letting it go to waste. I try not to have too much bacon lying around.

Excellent Recipe. Our entire family enjoyed it very much. This recipe would also be wonderful with Pork, & served over your favorite Pasta or sliced Yukon or Red potatoes. The recipe needs a little more Crunch. If the Bell Pepper is added in as the last ingredient, we found that the crunch was there without the sogginess. Would definitely cook again.

Delicious, and so easy! Served this at a family get-together, and it was the most popular dish by far. Will have to make a double (or triple!) batch next time.

Everyone loved it. Thought it tasted like baked beans.

This was fast and easy and tasted great. I really like that usually I would have all the ingredients on hand and would only need to remember to pick up a few things at the store.

This was good!! I made just a few adjustments...I used ground beef instead of steak and one can of ranch style beans instead of butter beans. This was very filling and the whole family loved it.
