My dearest 80-something friend Betty gave me this sensational, hearty recipe for a 3-bean hot dish. She's Finnish, I believe this has roots to home, and it's really tasty! My hubby, who hates beans, demanded I get the recipe. We first devoured it at Betty and Jim's 60th wedding anniversary! Perfect for potlucks.

Ingredients

  • 0.25 pounds bacon
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 onion , diced
  • 1 can pork and beans , 15 ounce
  • 1 can kidney beans , 15 ounce
  • 1 can butter beans , 15 ounce
  • 0.5 cups ketchup

  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Crumble when cooled. Wipe out skillet with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Add onion and cook until clear, about 5 minutes more.
