Beefy Bake Beans

(I almost always make this recipe with the "Red Hot" Chicken one so you get the same picture for both of them!)

Whenever I need this recipe I immediately look on my blog only to discover I haven't put it here yet, so I am finally getting to it. This is a great recipe, I can eat just these as a meal or a nice protein filled snack.

**I always half this recipe for my family of 4 and it is good to feed us each twice at least, sometimes I keep the beef and onion at the same as the whole recipe. ALSO I will eliminate the bacon if I don't have it on hand, not a big deal**

8 oz. of Bacon (cooked and crumbled)

1/2 lb. ground beef- browned

1/2 onion chopped

2 cans of pinto beans-drained and rinsed

2 cans of Great Northern Beans (or navy, cannelli, or butter)- drained and rinsed

2 (15 oz) cans of canned baked beans with pork

1 cup BBQ Sauce

1 cup Ketchup

1 cup Brown Sugar- packed

1 tbs. Mustard

Cook bacon and set aside. Brown beef in skillet and add onion to cook with it, cook well. Transfer beef to a greased 10x15 pan. Add bacon and beans. Mix BBQ Sauce, Ketchup, Brown Sugar, and Mustard in a separate bowl then pour over bean mixture and stir it all together well. Bake at 350 for 1 hour.

This can also be done in the crockpot, just follow the directions above, but put in your crockpot and cover and cook on high for 4 hours.
