This fills all of the requirements: easy, tasty, and quick to prep!
I like to put it all together, then let it cook on low for a couple of hours in the crockpot before serving. This recipe is easily doubled for larger groups.
4 Bean Baked Beans
- 1 15 oz. can butter beans, drained
- 1 15 oz. can lima beans, drained
- 1 15 oz. can kidney beans, drained
- 1 16 oz. can pork & beans
- 1/4 to 1/2 lb. bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 to 3/4 c. brown sugar (to taste)
- 1/4 to 1/2 c. ketchup (to taste)
- 1/4 to 1/2 c. white vinegar (to taste)
- 1/4 c. molasses
- 1 tsp. dry mustard
Gently mix beans together in a casserole dish or crock pot.
In a saucepan, cook and stir bacon, onion, and garlic until bacon is cooked to choice. Pour off excess fat.
Whisk last 5 ingredients together into the bacon mixture and simmer for a few minutes. Pour sauce over beans and mix gently.
Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for an hour, or in a crock pot on low for 2 to 4 hours.
