1/4 cup rum or rum flavoring to taste

1 tbsp vanilla

Salt and pepper to taste

4 (15 oz.) cans pork & beans

Brown deerburger and onions. Dump into a crock pot or Dutch oven, add all of the rest of the ingredients, stir and set crock pot on low or adjust hot charcoal to simmer.

Cook all day.

Stir about once every hour or two.

Serve with main ‘wild thang’ course.

Beans may be taken out of the crock pot about an hour before serving, put into a cake pan and baked to thicken the beans up and give them a more ‘baked’ look.

1 cup flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt

Enough water to make a thick dough

Oil or butter to fry bread
