Farmhouse Calico Beans

Tonight just seemed like a 'Bean Night'. Gentleman Farmer agreed.

Here's the recipe.

In a deep pot, brown 1 lb. Hamburger (ground turkey, or 1 cup. cubed ham can be subtituted. Tonight, I used ground venison breakfast sausage.)

along with 4 strips bacon and 1/2 large onion, chopped.

When meat is cooked through, add

1 can pork and beans ( I used Bushe's Maple Cured Bacon)

1 can kidney beans, with liquid

1 can black beans, with liquid

1 can Butter beans (or any white bean you prefer)

Add

1/2 C. ketchup (I use 1 can stewed tomatoes)

1/3 C. brown sugar

2 T. Apple Cider Vinegar

1 t. dry mustard

1 clove garlic, minced

Stir and simmer about 1 hour.

Be careful, this will scorch on the bottom if not stirred now and then.
