Instructions

  1. Brown and Drain: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, chopped bacon, and chopped onion together until the meat is browned and the onions are tender. Drain the excess grease well.
  2. Combine: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked meat mixture with all four cans of beans (do not drain).
  3. Season: Stir in the brown sugar, ketchup, BBQ sauce, mustard, salt, pepper, and chili powder. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly coated.

  5. Serve: This is wonderful served with a side of homemade cornbread or crispy garlic toast.

Notes

Tammy’s Tips

For a flavor "change up," try using Swaggerty’s Farm breakfast sausage in place of the ground beef,it adds a wonderful sage-infused spice to the dish! These beans are perfect for potlucks because they stay warm well and everyone always asks for the recipe.
