1/3 cup cocoa powder

Pasty Crust

 1 cup boiling water

1 cup vegetable shortening

3 cups flour

1 teaspoon salt

Combine boiling water and shortening, stir until shortening metals. Cool for several hours until shortening hardens on top. Add flour & salt, mix with fork. Divide into 10-12 pieces. Roll each out and add filling.  Top filling with one teaspoon of margarine and seal edges. Make a slit on the top to let steam escape. Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes or until golden brown.

Calico Beans

1 pound ground beef, browned

1/2 pound bacon, cooked and cut up into small pieces

1 cup chopped onion

1 1/2 cup ketchup

3/4 cup brown sugar

2 teaspoons vinegar

1 teaspoon dry mustard

2 teaspoons salt

5 16 ounce cans of beans, drained (butter, kidney, lima, pork & beans, etc)

Mix all ingredients together in either a crock pot (if cooking it that way) or a large bowl (if canning is the process you are using)

If cooking in crock pot, use high heat for a couple hours until the onions are cooked and flavors are well blended.

If canning pressure, use meat times.

If water bath canning, process three hours.

Note: The beans taste better the next day after the flavors have been able to blend, so I usually can the beans.
