½ pound ground beef
½ cup chopped onion
½ cup each celery and green pepper, chopped
½ cup ketchup
½ to ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon dry mustard
2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Directions:
Cook bacon until crisp. Drain, crumble and reserve.

Cook ground beef, add onions, celery and green pepper, and saute lightly.

Combine meat mixture, ketchup, brown sugar, mustard and vinegar in 3-quart casserole.

Drain kidney and butter beans, reserving liquid. Add baked beans along with drained kidney and butter beans, to casserole. Mix well.

Sprinkle crumbled bacon on top. Drizzle generously with maple syrup.

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Turn oven down to 300 degrees and continue to bake until brown and thick, but not dry. (I generally bake another 60-90 minutes.) If too dry, add some of the reserved bean liquid and bake about 15 minutes more.
