Okay. "Four Bean Casserole"
Brown together in skillet and DON'T drain fat:
1/2 pound bacon (I said 1 pound earlier because I usually double the recipe)
1 large onion, chopped
1 can (about 15 oz) each:
- butter beans
- lima beans
- kidney beans
- pork & beans ("good" brand)
Drain beans in large colander:
Mix together in large bowl:
1/2 c blackstrap molasses
3/4 c dark brown sugar, packed
1/4 c chili sauce (can substitute BBQ sauce or, in a pinch, catsup)
1/4 c vinegar
1 tsp dry mustard (Coleman's is good)
Pour a little of the bacon grease in the bottom of a 2 - 3 quart casserole. Combine the beans with the bacon, onion, and remaining fat. Add the sauce mixture. Pour into casserole. Cover and bake at 325*F for 1 1/2 hours. Serves 12.
It's GOOD!
