Dress up some simple cans of beans by adding mustard, ketchup, brown sugar, and of course - bacon! Let it simmer all day in the crock pot on low or cook on high for faster results.
1 can (28 ounce size) baked beans
1 can (15 ounce size) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (15 ounce size) lima beans, drained
1 can (15 ounce size) green beans, drained
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons vinegar
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup brown sugar
8 slices raw bacon, diced
Combine all the ingredients in the crock pot and mix well.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 2-3 hours (or 1 hour on high) or until the beans are heated through.
Serve hot. Stir the bean casserole well before serving.
Try different types of beans to vary the flavor and texture of the casserole.
Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce for a subtle kick of spice.
For a smokier flavor, use smoked paprika or add a few drops of liquid smoke.
You can use fresh beans, but keep in mind that fresh beans will require soaking and longer cooking time before adding to the recipe.
You can substitute turkey bacon for regular bacon if you prefer a leaner option. The flavor may be slightly different, but it will still add a smoky taste to the dish.
You can omit the bacon and use vegetable-based Worcestershire sauce and baked beans to make this recipe vegetarian-friendly while still maintaining a rich and hearty flavor.
You can substitute maple syrup for brown sugar if you prefer a different sweetener. Keep in mind that maple syrup will add a distinct flavor to the dish.
Leftover beans can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat it on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.
You can freeze the bean casserole in a freezer-safe container for up to 2-3 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
Can Opener: To open the various cans of beans used in this recipe.
Crock Pot: The star of this recipe, where all the ingredients will come together to create a delicious multi bean casserole. If you don't have a crock pot, you can also cook the beans slowly on the stovetop or place in a covered baking dish and bake at 350 degrees F in the oven until heated through.
Measuring Cups and Spoons: For measuring out the ingredients such as the dry mustard, vinegar, and ketchup.
Mixing Spoon: For combining all of the ingredients in the crock pot.
Knife: To dice up the bacon slices before adding them into the casserole.
Grilled Sausages: the smoky, meaty flavor of the sausages will be perfectly complemented by the sweet and tangy flavors in the multi bean casserole.
Cornbread: the slightly sweet and buttery cornbread will add a nice contrast in texture to the beans.
Coleslaw: the freshness and crunch of the coleslaw will balance out the rich and savory flavors of the beans.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
