Happy Friday Eve, Slow Cookerers!!
I hope all is well with you in your neck of the woods --
things are going okay here, as we adjust to the new weird and wonky school year.
It isn't fun. It isn't ideal. But we are trying to keep taking steps forward and trying to make the best of it, however we can.
-- AND, it's a 3 Day WEEKEND!!
which means:
:-)
serves 12-16 or so
1 pound lean ground meat, browned and drained
1 pound smoked bacon, browned, drained, and diced
1 medium onion, diced and browned
1 cup ketchup (no need to brown!)
1/4 cup brown sugar (already brown!)
1 (30-ounce) can Pork n' Beans (I love products with the "n" instead of an &)
1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15-ounce) can butter beans, drained and rinsed (they look like huge lima beans, and if they aren't in the bean section, try the canned veggie section)
1 tablespoon liquid smoke (yup, it's gluten free!)
The Directions.
Use a 6-quart or larger crockpot. This makes a lot.
In a large skillet, brown the hamburger, bacon, and onion.
While the meats and onion are browning, add the rest of the ingredients into the slow cooker.
No need to really stir things up quite yet, or the beans will fall apart.
Drain the meats well, and dump into the slow cooker. Use a large spoon to gingerly fold in the hot ingredients.
Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours.
Stir well and serve to your very best friends.
The Verdict.
I really like these beans. And I mean I really, really, really, really like these beans.
:-)
These are my go-to potluck beans that make everyone in the entire world happy. :-)
There's bacon and beef in here in the original recipe but I've made it OFTEN with turkey bacon and ground turkey and noone can tell the difference!
Enjoy your Labor Day! Enjoy your family!
happy slow cooking!!
