I have an enormous family and all of the men go trail riding several times a year and these beans are one of the things they look forward to. My aunts and I put together their favorite combination several years ago, and have it ready at their camp, and they are some happy cowboys! You can mix different beans to your liking (lima, kidney, etc.), but the boys in our family like this mixture the best.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound bacon

  • 2 pounds ground beef

  • 1 large onion, chopped

  • 1 cup ketchup

  • ⅓ cup brown sugar

  • 1 (55 ounce) can baked beans (such as Bush's®)

  • 2 (15 ounce) cans Great Northern beans

  • 1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans

  • 1 (15 ounce) can pork and beans

Directions

  1. Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crispy, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and crumble when cool enough to handle.

  2. At the same time, heat another large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.

  3. Place bacon, ground beef, onion, ketchup, and brown sugar in a slow cooker; mix well. Add baked beans, Great Northern beans, pinto beans, and pork and beans.

  4. Cook on Low, stirring often, about 4 hours.
