Old Settler’s Beans

I have been debating weather or not to share this recipe for a while.  It is an old family recipe, passed down through the ages.  When I say, “trough the ages,” I mean that it was my Grandma Sally’s recipe. I know some people regard family recipes as great secrets, never to be shared with anyone, but really, this recipe is too good not to share. Our family has made these beans for every family get together my entire life.  Everyone asks for this recipe, and since I’m a giver… well, I’ll give it to you. 

Old Settler’s Beans

Brown:   1 lb. bacon, cut into pieces

              1 lb. hamburger

              1 lg. onion, diced

Add:  1 15oz can butter beans, undrained

          1 15oz can kidney beans, undrained

           2 cans pork and beans, undrained

Mix together and add: 

1/3 c. brown sugar

1/3 c. white sugar

1/4 c. ketchup

1/2 tsp. dry mustard

2 Tbsp. molasses

Dash Worcestershire sauce

Mix all ingredients in a crock pot.  Cook on high 4 to 6 hours.

Seriously, this is the best baked bean recipe, EVER.  Even if you think you won’t like it, you should try it anyway.
