WESTERN BEAN CASSEROLE 
1/2 lb. bacon
2 lb. ground round
1 medium onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (8 oz.) can pork and beans (with liquid)
2 (15 oz.) cans dark kidney beans, drained
1 (15 oz.) can baby lima beans, drained
1/2 to 2/3 c. Open Pit (regular)
3 or 4 shakes Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp. chili powder

In soup pot, cook bacon just to crispy. Remove from pan and drain grease. Brown ground meat and make crumbly. Add onions and garlic. Drain grease. Turn heat to medium-low. Add pork and beans with liquid, drained kidney beans and lima beans, stirring well. Add Open Pit, chili powder and Worcestershire. Take about 90 minutes.

This is actually better cooked slow for 2 to 3 hours so flavors can blend. Great for summer cookout.
