HEARTY BEANS AND GROUND BEEF
CASSEROLE
 
1/2 lb. bacon
1 c. onion, chopped
1 lb. ground beef
3/4 c. ketchup
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. dry mustard
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. granulated sugar
2 tsp. vinegar
Few dashes garlic powder
1 (20 oz.) can baked beans
1 (20 oz.) can lima beans
1 (20 oz.) can kidney beans

Cut bacon into small pieces and fry. Remove from fat and drain on paper toweling. Reserve as much fat as you like and saute onions until soft. Add ground beef and brown. Add remaining ingredients except beans.

Drain lima and kidney beans in a collander. In a large casserole, mix beans, onions, and ground beef mixture. Cover and bake. This improves with age and may be done ahead and re-heated. Serves 10-12.
