Yield: 6 servings.
½ pound ground beef
2 medium onions
2 green peppers, one chopped, one sliced in rings
2 1-pound cans baked beans
1 can cream-style corn
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
In a large pot, sauté the ground beef with the chopped onions and peppers until meat is browned and vegetables are tender.
Add the beans, corn, chili powder, salt, and peppers to the pot, and mix to combine. You may serve as-is, or pour contents into a casserole dish, top with pepper rings, and bake at 400° for 20 minutes.

To commemorate our 90th anniversary, we’ve compiled a time line that highlights the stories, contributors, and themes that have shaped this magazine — and your view of the Old North State — using nine decades of our own words.
From its northernmost point in Corolla to its southern terminus on Cedar Island, this scenic byway — bound between sound and sea — links the islands and communities of the Outer Banks.
Us? An icon? Well, after 90 years and more than 2,000 issues celebrating North Carolina from mountains to coast, we hope you’ll agree that we’ve earned the title.
After nearly a century — or just a couple of years — these seafood restaurants have become coastal icons, the places we know, love, and return to again and again.
