Aunt Marilyn's 3 Bean Hot Dish

This recipe is an oldie, but goodie!! This one is from the recipe card vault itself, i ran across it today wandering through recipe cards, and I remember this dish as if it were yesterday. This is, in my humble opinion, is the ONLY way Baked Beans should be served. Another recipe once again that converted me from a hater to a lover! And now that I have recovered this recipe again, I cannot wait until Summer to serve it with some BBQ!

1/2 lb bacon fried and crumbled

1/2 lb ground beef browned

1 cup chopped onion

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1 Can, 16 ounces, Pork and Beans, undrained

1 Can, 16 ounces, Red Kidney Beans, DRAINED

1 Can, 15 ounces, Butter Beans, DRAINED

1/4 to 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1/2 cup Ketchup

1 tsp. Dry Mustard

Pre heat oven to 350.

Cook bacon, discard drippings. Cook hamburger, onion, salt and pepper in drippings in the skillet, drain well. Combine bacon, ground beef mixture with remaining ingredients. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

** THIS ALSO CAN BE DONE IN THE CROCKPOT** Prepare as above, put in crock pot and cook on low for 4-6 hours!
