Directions:In a large skillet over medium-low heat, cook the bacon until just crisp.* Remove the bacon to paper towels to drain. Leave about 2 teaspoons of bacon drippings in the skillet and discard the remaining drippings. Place the skillet back over medium heat and add the ground beef and chopped onions. Cook, stirring and breaking up larger chunks until the beef is no longer pink. With a slotted spoon or spatula, transfer the ground beef to the crockery insert of the slow cooker. Add the brown sugar, dry mustard, the pork and beans, the two cans of drained beans, the ketchup or barbecue sauce, and vinegar. Taste and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cover and cook on LOW for 3 to 5 hours. |

Notes: If you have baked beans but you don't have kidney beans or lima beans in your pantry, use pinto beans, great northern beans, black beans, or navy beans. Even canned black-eyed peas would work in this dish! See the tips and variations for a few more ideas. Use part ground pork or sausage along with the ground beef. Add 1/2 cup of diced green bell pepper or a combination of red and green bell peppers to the skillet with the onions and ground beef.
