Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef, browned (optional)
  • 1 lb bacon
  • 1 large vidalia onion, diced
  • 1 red pepper, diced
  • 1 green pepper, diced
  • 12 cup sugar
  • 12 cup brown sugar
  • 14 cup ketchup
  • 1 (16 ounce) bottlehickory smoke flavor barbecue sauce
  • 1 teaspoon mustard
  • 3 teaspoons molasses
  • 12 teaspoon salt
  • 12 teaspoon chili powder
  • 12 teaspoon pepper
  • 16 ounces butter beans (I like these so I double)
  • 16 ounces black beans
  • 16 ounces kidney beans
  • 31 ounces pork and beans
  • 1 (12 ounce) can beer

Method

  • Brown and crumble ground beef if using.
  • Open all cans of beans and pour in a strainer to drain liquid.
  • Add all ingredients to large casserole dish.
  • Use some of the beer to pour in the empty bottle of BBQ sauce to shake up and get all the contents out.
  • Add the drained beans.
  • Mix well.
  • Lay Bacon all over the top.
  • Bake at 350 for 1 hour.
  • (1 hour is fine, but they actually taste better the longer they cook.
  • I try to start mine very early and just let them cook in a slow oven after the initial hour as long as time allows.
  • ).
