Introduction

I've seen many variations of this recipe, but this is the best one I've had. It originally came from my Sister-in-law's Mom. Our family enjoys these so much they are referred to as "THE beans".

Ingredients

1 lb lean ground beef

1 lb bacon, crumbled

1 c onion, chopped finely (or use minced onion)

2 tsp salt

1 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

2 tsp mustard

1 c ketchup

2 (15-16 oz) cans kidney beans

1 (15-16 oz) can butter beans

2 (20 oz) cans Bush's Pork 'n Beans (If you can't find Bush's you can substitute Van Kamp's but you have to add a little molasses.)

1 (15-16 oz) can lima beans, drained

4 tsp vinegar

Directions

Brown together ground beef, crumbled bacon, and onion. Put mixture in the removable crock of a crock pot. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir well. Bake in crock for 1 1/2 hours at 325 degrees. After baking keep warm in the regular part of the crock pot while serving. (Make sure you cook it all the way through before putting in the regular crock pot part.)

Note: This BARELY fits in a 5-quart crock pot. To avoid spilling when baking you may want to use a 6-quart crock pot.
