Quick Baked Beans

Living on a farm definitely has many perks - unlimited sweet corn being one of them. A few evenings ago my husband and I had a few of our wonderful friends over to help us chow down the 20 cobs we prepared. To provide a little variety, half were done on the BBQ and the others were boiled. I made a giant crock pot of baked beans to compliment the corn. They turned out very tasty! A great recipe for brunch too. Here is it - super simple.

8 slices bacon
1 sm. onion, chopped
1/4 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. white sugar
1 tsp. dry mustard
1 c. ketchup
3 can pork & beans (remove pork fat before adding to crock pot)
2 can romano beans, drained & rinsed
1 can kidney beans, drained & rinsed
Fry bacon crisp; drain and crumble. Mix all ingredients in crock pot and cook on high for 3 hours. Add about 1 tablespoon of bacon fat to crock pot. Stir occasionally. Remove lid for last hour to thicken. May also be baked at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Serves 10-12 side dishes.
