I'm making this for my church's Fall BBQ tomorrow.
This is a family tradition/favorite I do for special occasion BBQ's & picnics. I usually have to double the recipe.
One can each of:
green beans
butter beans
lima beans
kidney beans (all drained)
(I also add pinto beans- or any of your favorite beans.)
8 slices of smoky bacon (cut up and fried) (I use 8 for a double batch, too.)
4 med. onions, chopped. (5 is better for a double batch.)
3/4 cup of brown sugar
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp. powdered mustard
(It always can use more brown sugar, vinegar, and powdered mustard. Sometimes I add molasses.)
Fry bacon and remove from grease. Sauté onions in the grease. (I drain off most of the grease and deglaze the pan with the onions.)
Add brown sugar, vinegar, dry mustard, to a separate pan and heat until sugar is dissolved.
Pour over combined beans, bacon and onions, in a 2.5 quart casserole.
Bake at 350 degrees F. (I just simmer on the stove top till some of the liquid is steamed away.)
