Hot Three Bean Casserole

Fry until crisp 8 slices of bacon; drain & crumble after cool. Save grease. To grease add 2 medium onions sliced or chopped; ¾ C. brown sugar; 2 T. apple cider vinegar; 1 tsp. dry mustard. Mix well bring to boil & simmer for 12 – 15 minutes.

Drain:

1 (16 oz.) can kidney beans

1 (16 oz.) can baby lima beans

1 (16 oz.) can pork & beans

Mix beans with sauce and I add little salt & pepper.

Pour bean mixture into 1 ½ qt. casserole; sprinkle crumbled bacon on top.

Bake at 350º for 45-60 minutes, covered.

This casserole is excellent baked day before serving. Gives the sauce more time to soak into the beans.
