Ingredients

  • 2 cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can dark red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 36 oz canned baked beans
  • 1 lb bacon, cut into pieces
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 1 large green pepper, chopped
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. In a large heavy bottomed dutch oven, cook bacon. I like to cut the bacon into pieces using kitchen scissors. Makes it easy. Once cooked, remove the bacon using a slotted spoon and set aside. Leave the grease! Add onions and peppers and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Then add minced garlic and cook another minute until fragrant. Add all of the beans and cooked bacon, stir to combine. Next add brown sugar, ketchup, mustard and apple cider vinegar. Stir to combine and put lid on top. Place in preheated oven for and hour and half. Enjoy!
