Sweet and Sour Beans

By MaryEllen

Ingredients

• Any kind of beans are fine. I use:
• 8 slices bacon, fried, drained and crumbled
• 1-2 medium onions, sliced
• 1/2 - 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp. dry mustard
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/2 - 1 tsp. salt
• 1/2 cup vinegar
• 1 - 16 oz can butter lima beans or great northern beans (drain)
• 1 - 16 oz can small green lima beans (drain)
• 1 - 16 oz can kidney beans (drain)
• 1 - 16 oz can baked beans (do not drain)

Preparation

Step 1

Place onions, brown sugar, mustard, garlic powder, salt and vinegar into a sauce pan. Cover and cook 20 min over low heat. Mix beans together in a large casserole dish. Add onion mixture and bacon. Bake 1 hour at 350 degrees. I bake the beans covered for 45 minutes, uncovered for remaining time. Also, you can put the bacon pieces on as a topping just before serving instead of cooking with the beans.
