• 1/2 pound lean bacon
  1 pound ground chuck, lean
  1 large onion
  1/4 cup green pepper, diced
  1 clove garlic mince
  1 can pork 'n beans, 16 oz
  1 can red kidney beans, 16 oz

  1 can great northern beans, 16 oz
  1/4 cup brown sugar
  1 tbs dry mustard
  1/4 cup molasses or maple syrup
  1 jar barbecue sauce
  Salt & pepper

Cut bacon into 1/4" bits; brown in a large skillet. Remove bacon from rendered fat and set aside. In the bacon drippings, saute the onion & pepper until tender. Add the ground meat and brown lightly. Put the meats into the bottom of a crockpot. Add the Pork 'n Beans with the liquid on them. Drain most of the juice off of the remaining cans of beans and add them with the remaining ingredients to the crockpot. Mix all well. Cook on HIGH setting for 1 hour to get well heated through, then lower heat setting to LOW and allow to cook for 5 - 6 hours. Stir from time to time.

Chance fights ever on the side of the prudent.
