1 can kidney beans (regular size)
1 can lima beans (large size)
1 can Brown Beauty beans (pinto will substitute)
1 green pepper, sliced thin
1 onion, sliced thin
3/4 c. catsup
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 tsp. chili powder
3 small cloves of garlic, minced (or 1 tsp. garlic flakes or powder)
1 bay leaf

Combine beans, which have not been drained, with all ingredients in al large casserole.

Bake uncovered in a 300°F oven for at least 2 hours (longer is O.K.). Some liquid cooks away, but do not let them get dry. After baking, remove bay leaf.
