My mom made this occasionally. I liked it. I’ve never made it myself, though.
My mom made something we called simply “beans and hamburger”, and that’s pretty much all it was, but the devil is in the details, and I gave up many years ago trying to duplicate it. By the time I thought to ask my mom how she made it, she had forgotten all about it due to Alzheimer’s.
Special food can resurface long buried memories as clear as the day they were lived. Odors can do the same.
Could be something similar to Calico Bean Casserole. I hated it as a kid, but most of the family loved it. I mainly didn’t like it then because of the beans, now I think I wouldn’t like it because it’s too sweet for what is supposed to be a savory entree. At least my mom’s was.
This is why I have a binder of all our favorite recipes at our place.
My grandmother would make these glorious Christmas dinners when I was a kid - traditional desserts from Newfoundland, and a whole spread for dinner. Unfortunately she never wrote most those recipes down - she had them memorized from her mother. It’s so sad, as these recipes passed down from my great grandmother circa the 1920s (and maybe even from her parents) are now lost in time. We’ve used Newfoundland cookbooks like Rock Recipes which have some good approximations, but do I ever wish we knew what was the real thing.

One of my favorite childhood foods was sombrero pie. Still love it. I think it came from a Betty Crocker cookbook at some point.

Pretty sure that this is it.

Man, when you grow up with something, it just…yeah, it hits you.
