Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb hamburger
1/2 lb bacon
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon mustard
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can butter beans
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can kidney beans
1 (20 ounce) can baked beans (Bush's)

Steps:

  • Brown the bacon & let it cool. Some of the bacon grease may be saved and added in with the hamburger if you choose too.
  • Cut or break the bacon into bite size pieces.
  • While bacon is cooling brown the hamburger with the chopped onion and pepper, then drain of the grease if needed.
  • Add the bacon (and bacon grease if you choose to) to the hamburger.
  • Mix together the ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, vinegar and salt.
  • Stir this in to the hamburger/bacon mixture.
  • Stir in all the cans of beans.
  • Bake in large baking dish in 350 degree oven for 1 hour or in your crock pot on high about 3-4 hours.
  • A few hints for everyone. Any leftovers may be frozen, so you may enjoy at a later time without the prep work. You may also use your own favorite beans instead of those suggested in the recipe -- lima beans, pork and beans, red beans, northern beans, etc. Sometimes, depending on how many people I am serving, I will use 1 1/2 lbs. of hamburger and an extra can or 2 of beans and it is always just as good.
  • Enjoy!
