Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 6 slices bacon, or more to taste

  • 1 large onion, chopped

  • 3 cloves garlic, or more to taste, diced

  • 1 pound ground beef

  • 2 (15 ounce) cans pork and beans

  • 1 (16 ounce) can light red kidney beans

  • 1 (16 ounce) can butter beans

  • 1 cup ketchup

  • ½ cup brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 tablespoon liquid smoke

Directions

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

  2. Cook onion in the bacon grease over medium heat until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer onion mixture (including bacon grease) to a slow cooker.

  3. Cook and stir ground beef in the same skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to the slow cooker.

  4. Add pork and beans, kidney beans, butter beans, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke to the slow cooker.

  5. Cook on Low for 4 hours. Serve with crumbled bacon on top.

Cook's Note:

Can also be left on stove to simmer over low heat for 1 to 2 hours, just be sure to stir frequently.
