Slow Cooker Potluck Beans
From Stephanie O'Dea @ crockpot365.blogspot.com/
I made it last week to bring to a potluck party up the street and overheard many happy murmurs, and received lots of compliments. All the kids at the party, who tried the beans, loved them, and my girls ate leftovers happily for lunch the next two days.
You've got to break out the skillet out for this recipe. I know. I'm sorry. It'll be okay, though. I promise.
Serves a lot. I'd guess 15-18 nice-sized servings.
The Ingredients
1 pound lean ground meat, browned and drained
1 pound smoked bacon, browned, drained, and diced
1 medium onion, diced and browned
1 cup ketchup (no need to brown!)
1/4 cup brown sugar (already brown!)
1 (30-ounce) can Pork n' Beans (I love products with the "n" instead of an &)
1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15-ounce) can butter beans, drained and rinsed (they look like huge lima beans, and if they aren't in the bean section, try the canned veggie section)
1 tablespoon liquid smoke (yup, it's gluten free!)
The Directions.
Use a 6-quart or larger crockpot.
This makes a lot.
In a large skillet, brown the hamburger, bacon, and onion.
You could probably do this all together, but I did the bacon separately.
While the meats and onion are browning, add the rest of the ingredients into the slow cooker.
No need to really stir things up quite yet, or the beans will fall apart.
Drain the meats well, and dump into the slow cooker.
Use a large spoon to gingerly fold in the hot ingredients.
Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours.
Stir well and serve to your very best friends.
