The Herald, Grand Forks, North Dakota
This dish is basically “baked beans” but with added ingredients that elevate it to the status of an entrée. Mom no longer made ordinary baked beans after she found this recipe!
One medium or large onion
½ lb. bacon
¾ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon mustard
salt to taste
2 teaspoons vinegar
½ cup catsup
16 oz. can pinto beans
16 oz. can kidney beans
16 oz. can Great Northern beans
Optional: add 8 oz. can butter beans or lima beans
Optional: exchange 16 oz. black beans for Great Northern
Render beef and bacon in frying pan with chopped onion and drain before adding to recipe.
Combine all ingredients and bake 1 ½ hours at 350 degrees, or
simmer in crock pot or on stove all afternoon. The aroma will fill the
whole house!
