Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer beef to a bowl with a slotted spoon. Drain and discard grease.

Step 3

Place bacon in the same skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels. Discard all drippings.

Step 4

Add baked beans, kidney beans, butter beans, onion, brown sugar, white sugar, ketchup, molasses, and dry mustard to the beef. Add bacon and mix all ingredients together. Transfer to a 9x13-inch aluminum pan and cover with aluminum foil.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 10 more minutes.
