Three Bean Casserole

Brown the following:
1 Pound ground beef
1/2 pound bacon (cut up)
1 Cup chopped onion

1 Cup Ketchup
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 Tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
1 can kidney beans (drained)
1 can Lima or butter be beans (drained)
1 can pork and beans (I use Bush beans-do not drain)

Directions & Story; Mix ground beef and bean ingredients together, pour into crock pot and simmer for about 4 hours. This can be also made in the oven, use a casserole container and bake for 1 1/2 hours.

This casserole is a great addition to a buffet luncheon, birthday party or get-together. I often made it in the late summer and fall when we had company for dinner or relatives over for a birthday party. I've used this recipe or a variation of it since the 1990's.
