Ingredients

• 6 slices bacon
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 can baked beans
• 1 can navy beans
• 1 can kidney beans
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons vinegar
• 1/4 cup honey garlic sauce
• 1/4 cup sweet and sour sauce
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1 teaspoon ground mustard
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Method

1. Begin by frying diced bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until it turns golden and crispy. Remove the bacon and place it on paper towels to drain any excess fat.
2. In the same skillet, add ground beef and cook it, stirring often, until it's fully browned and no longer pink. Drain any leftover grease and mix the beef with the crispy bacon in a slow cooker.
3. Into the slow cooker, add a blend of baked beans, navy beans, kidney beans, and a medley of sauces including ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, honey garlic sauce, and sweet and sour sauce. Season with onion powder, garlic salt, ground mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to ensure an even mix.
4. Cover the slow cooker and set it to high heat. Allow the bean mixture to cook for about one hour, letting the flavors mingle and develop.
