1 pound smoked bacon, browned, drained, and diced
1 medium onion, diced and browned
1 cup ketchup (no need to brown!)
1/4 cup brown sugar (already brown!)
1 (30-ounce) can Pork n' Beans (I love products with the "n" instead of an &)
1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15-ounce) can butter beans, drained and rinsed (they look like huge lima beans, and if they aren't in the bean section, try the canned veggie section)
1 tablespoon liquid smoke
Directions:
Use a 6-quart or larger crockpot. This makes a lot.
In a large skillet, brown the hamburger, bacon, and onion. You could probably do this all together, but I did the bacon separately (and woah, mama. pork bacon spatters *way* more than turkey bacon, but it tastes a whole lot better, so I sort of got over it rather quickly.)
While the meats and onion are browning, add the rest of the ingredients into the slow cooker.
No need to really stir things up quite yet, or the beans will fall apart. Drain the meats well, and dump into the slow cooker.
Use a large spoon to gingerly fold in the hot ingredients.
Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours. Stir well and serve to your very best friends.
