Description

A sweet and eclectic mix of beans that will surprisingly satisfy. Great for picnics or backyard barbecues.

Ingredients

  • 8 slices Bacon
  • 1 whole Onion, Coarsely Chopped
  • ¾ cups Brown Sugar
  • ½ teaspoons Garlic Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Dry Mustard
  • Pepper To Taste
  • 1 can (16 Oz. Size) White Butter Beans, Drained
  • 1 can Green Beans, Drained, 16 Ounce Can
  • 1 can Pork And Beans, With Juices, 16 Ounce Can
  • 1 can Kidney Beans, With Juices, 16 Ounce Can

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a large skillet over medium heat, fry the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan and set aside.

Save the crumbles from the bacon along with about 2 Tablespoons of the grease (discard the remaining grease). Saute the onions in the bacon crumbles and 2 Tablespoons grease. Once the onions are translucent stir the brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, garlic salt, dry mustard and pepper. Mix to combine.

Stir in the beans, one can at a time. Cut the bacon into bite sized pieces and add it to the bean mixture. Thoroughly combine all the ingredients.

Pour the bean mixture into an 8 X 8 inch baking dish. Bake uncovered at 350°F for 1 hour.

Her post on her site says 1/2 cup cider vinegar.

This sounds so good, how much cider vinegar does the recipe call for?

I will admit I did not make this exact – my can sizes were 14.5 oz not 16, and I used a 28 oz can of vegetarian beans not pork and beans, and finally Cannellini beans instead of butter but this was very good. I did rinse the kidneys also but it was still soupy after an hour baking – my only complaint.
