Cowboy Beans

Another great potluck crock-pot recipe!
My Gastonia friends that have eaten these say they are called Cowboy Beans... whatever their true name... they sure are yummy!

Ingredients:
2 cans pork & beans
2 cans kidney beans
2 cans baby lima beans
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup vinegar
2 cups ketchup
2 tbsp mustard
2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
6 slices of bacon
1 small onion, chopped

Directions:
- Fry bacon and onions together until bacon is cooked and onions are tender. Drain off grease.
- Add the rest together in a crock-pot and leave all day.
- On high these are ready to go in about 3 hours, low probably 5.
- Leave lid off about 30 minutes before serving and the liquid should thicken.

Tips from a Kitchen of Reality:
- This recipe serves about 10-15. Can be cut in half to serve fewer.
- Same recipe can be made in the oven - cook for 45 minutes @ 350 degrees.
- I hate onion, so I've made it without and it is still yummy!
