Would you believe out of all the recipes on my side bar…THIS recipe is one of my absolute favorites?
You know how when you go to a family pot luck each family member generally brings their “staple dish”? In our family, this is Aunt Shirley’s “dish”. I LOVE these beans! {stop laughing at me and singing that silly bean song in your head, I know you’re thinking it! LOL!}
In all seriousness…these beans are simple to make, sweet, savory, filling, naturally allergy friendly and ohhhh so good. I literally make them my meal, I love them that much!
For a delicious Autumn side dish, make sure to pin these to your favorites! Thanks for the recipe Aunt Shirley!
Brown 6 slices of bacon in a skillet on medium heat.
Drain on paper towel. Reserve renderings {bacon fat} in your skillet.
Slice one large onion and sautee in bacon renderings on medium-high heat.
In the meantime, turn your crockpot onto the high 4 hours setting and add brown sugar, mustard, garlic powder, salt and cider vinegar.
Drain Great Northern beans, Red Kidney beans, and Butter beans.
Add everything to crockpot. Onions with drippings, pork and beans, drained beans, and bacon {crumbled a bit}. Stir well, cover and cook for 4 hours.
These are goooooood. Mmm, Mmm, Mmmm!!!
