Delicious Summer style Beans

Total time to make is about 3 hours (most of which is slow cooking in the crock pot).  I guarantee this recipe is better than any other you may know.  If you think otherwise after trying this recipe, then I would believe your personal taste in food is of question.  This is a good side dish to your favorite summer foods such as hot dogs and hamburgers.  It is a good recipe to bring to a picnic or get-together.

• 1 pound of ground beef
• 1 pound of bacon cut up into chunks
• 1 onion chopped
• 4 cans of "pork n beans" (any brand)
• 2 cans of butter beans (lima)
• 2 cans of red kidney beans
• 1 cup of brown sugar
• 1/4 cup of molasses
• 1/2 cup of ketchup
• 3 teaspoons of dry mustard (powdered)
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper

You can easily cut this recipe in half for a smaller serving

1. Using a very large pot; brown the ground beef and then add bacon and onion and sauté.  Drain.
2. Add meat and onion to crock pot, add rest of ingredients.  Cook on low for a few hours and then enjoy!
3. As a side note, you can skip the crock pot step by adding all ingredients to a large pot and bring to a boil.  Once at boil, keep warm and serve.

Makes many servings.
