Baked Bean Medley

Ingredients
6 slices bacon
1 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced or ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 can (15 ounces) pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (15 ounces) great northern beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (15 ounces) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (15 ounces) garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (15 ounces) pork and beans
¾ cup ketchup

¼ cup packed brown sugar
2 Tablespoons worcestershire sauce
1 Tablespoon prepared mustard
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Directions
- Wash hands with soap and water.
- Rinse or scrub fresh vegetables under running water before preparing.

- Cut bacon into bite-sized pieces and place in skillet. Cook over medium heat (300 degrees F in an electric skillet) until evenly browned. Remove from pan and set aside in a large mixing bowl.
- Drain skillet, reserving 1 teaspoon of drippings. Add onion and garlic. Cook until onion is tender. Remove from skillet and add to bacon. Discard remaining drippings.
- Mix beans with bacon, onion and garlic. Stir in remaining ingredients.
- Move mixture to a 9x12-inch baking dish or 3-quart casserole dish. Bake for 1 hour.

Notes
- Use any mix of beans you have.
- Cook your own dried beans. One can (15 ounces) contains 1 ½ to 1 ¾ cups drained beans.
- No bacon? Use 1 teaspoon cooking oil to saute vegetables.
- This recipe can be made in a slow cooker for extra convenience. Cook bacon first or use pre-cooked bacon. Put all ingredients into the cooker, cover and cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours.

Comments
This is a perfect baked bean side dish recipe as it yield a lot and is full of protein! The flavors are very delicious. Feedback from a tasting at a food pantry people could not believe the sauce was so few ingredients. I used pork loin instead of bacon and the flavor was still very good. I added in some celery and yellow bell pepper for extra veggies. Pairs well with whole wheat English muffins.
My family loves this recipe. It's perfect to bake ahead of time and take warm to a potluck. Huge hit!
