Calico Beans

A classic, always satisfying.

Calico Beans

1/4 lb bacon, diced

1 lb ground beef

1/2 c chopped onion, about 1 small

1/4 c brown sugar (I usually use half of this, or 2 Tbsp)

1/2 c ketchup

2 Tbsp vinegar

1 Tbsp prepared mustard

1/2-1 tsp salt

1 15 oz can butter beans, drained and rinsed

1 15 oz can kidney beans, drained and rinsed

1 large can of baked beans (21-28 oz can), extra liquid slightly drained

Brown diced bacon and ground beef together, drain fat. Add diced onion until softened. Mix with all other ingredients in a large casserole and bake, covered, at 325 for about an hour.
