Calico Beans

Here is one of those vintage recipes I found in some old recipes. This is the original recipe without anything changed.These beans are great for a potluck or bbq get together.

Ingredients

1	regular sized can pork and beans
1	can butter beans
1	can kidney beans
1/2 lb	lean burger or ground sirloin
1/2 lb	sliced bacon, diced
1 c	chopped onion
1/2 c	open pit barbecue sauce, original flavor, no substitutions
1/2 c	ketchup
1/2 c	sugar
1/2 c	packed brown sugar
2 Tbsp	prepared mustard
2 Tbsp	molasses
1/2 tsp	chili powder
	pepper to taste

Directions

In a large skillet, cook bacon, beef, and onion until browned. Transfer to a large bowl. Do not drain. Add remaining ingredients and stir well. Turn out into a greased 9x13 baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake 350 degrees for 50 minutes...until bubbly.

NOTE: Easily doubled. However, just add 1T more of molasses and prepared mustard instead of doubling those. Use a lasagna pan or one of those aluminum throw aways which holds a doubled recipe nicely.
