This makes enough to feed a herd of people. I picked this up from one of the school's drive through suppers. Will probably come in handy if I ever have another family reunion or the like.
Ingredients:
3 lbs bacon, diced
3 medium sweet onions
6 (28 ounce) cans baked beans, undrained
6 (16 ounce) cans kidney beans, rinsed and drained
6 (15 1/2 ounce) cans butter beans, rinsed and drained
3 lbs sausage links, miniature fully cooked and smoked and cut into thirds
3 cups brown sugar, packed
1 1/2 cups ketchup
1 1/2 cups vinegar
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon ground mustard
Directions:
1. In a large Dutch oven, cook the bacon until crisp. Drain, reserving 3 tablespoons drippings. Set bacon aside.
2. In the drippings, saute onions until tender. Combine beans, sausage, bacon and onions.
3. Combine the remaining ingredients; add to bean mixture and mix well.
4. Pour into four greased 13 x 9 inch baking dishes.
5. Bake, uncovered, at 350ºF for 45-55 minutes or until heated through.
