A protein-packed casserole that toes the line between side dish and main course. Three types of beans, ground beef, and bacon put lesser baked bean recipes to shame.

ingredients

1/2 pound bacon, chopped
1 pound ground beef
1 can (15 ounce size) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (15 ounce size) lima beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (28 ounce size) pork & beans
1 large onions, chopped
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Combine the bacon and ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the fat has rendered from the bacon and the beef is no longer pink. Drain off the grease.

Stir the remaining ingredients into the skillet and mix well. Pour the mixture into a 3 quart baking dish. Place the dish in the oven and bake at 325 degrees F for 35 minutes or until bubbly in the middle and heated through.

Serve hot.

  1. cnorder REVIEW:

    Really good...I used 15 oz of northern beans, baby butter, kidney, and then 28 oz of bush's baked beans. So I doubled the sauce and put 1/2 of it on top in the crockpot for about 4 hours on low. Added extra mustard and a few drops of tabasco so it wasn't as sweet. Served with fritos scoops..yummy!

  2. Steph REVIEW:

    This dish was super simple and went over great at a cook-out. When I went to the grocery store I didn't see any 20 oz cans of beans, so I did 4 cans of 15 oz and did a light and a dark kidney bean. Even with the alteration, it was great!

  3. shellbugger REVIEW:

    I had to change some things, as this was a last-minute dish for a pot luck we were going to. I used one can pork & beans, one can baked beans, and one can black beans (it's what I had on hand!) I eliminated the brown sugar, and cut back on the catsup. It was really good! My husband wasn't so sure that it made a great main dish, but thought it was an awesome dip for plain tortilla chips. And, I didn't have any leftovers!!!

  4. jillibean REVIEW:

    My mother made a version of this recipe and it was always a great hit, expecially at a cookout. She used the Big White Lima Beans and added about a half cup of chili sauce to her recipe.

  5. DTW SKins REVIEW:

    It was a little too rich for my families taste for a main course, so now I use it as a party dish to go with other courses. It's absolutly yummy
