Stovetop Baked Beans

1 can pork and beans
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1/3 cup catsup
1 tablespoon margarine (or bacon drippings)
2 dashes of celery seed
2 Tablespoons of finely chopped onion


Combine all ingredients and simmer, stirring VERY frequently for about 5 minutes. Mixture burns easily because of the sugar. Take off the heat and let cool for a couple of minutes stirring occasionally. This is the time that the beans will thicken.

You can add a slice of 2 of bacon instead of the margarine. The fat from the bacon or margarine is the ingredient that thickens the beans.
