• Add 2 cans of Pork & beans, brown sugar, catsup, and crumbled bacon.
• Stir and cook till heated through.

Steps:

• Fry the bacon until halfway done.
• Add the onion.
• When the onion is slightly browned, pour off almost all of the grease (or all of it if you're watching fat content), Add pork and beans, sugar, vinegar and catsup.
• Stir well, season with a pinch of chili powder.
• Pour mixture into ceramic bean pot or covered dish.
• Bake at 350 degrees one hour or until mixture is cooked down so that it's not too runny. You can also cook this mixture slowly on the stove, careful to stir occasionally so the beans won't burn. They'll cook down.

Steps:

• Dice bacon and onion.
• Fry bacon; when nearly done, add onion to pan and saute until bacon is cooked; pour off most of the fat.
• Combine all ingredients in a saucepan; cover and simmer, stirring every once in awhile, on low heat for 1 to 2 hours ~ The beans will thicken as they cook.

Steps:

• Fry bacon until half cooked; add onion. When onion is lightly browned, pour off excess fat. Add pork and beans, brown sugar, vinegar, and ketchup. Stir well and cover. Let simmer 30-45 minutes, or bake slowly at 300° for 2 hours. Note: Add sliced hot dogs last 10 minutes, if desired. Great for picnics or barbecues.
