Chuck Wagon Beans

1/2 pound bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional)
1 pound ground beef (optional)
1 medium onion, diced
1 green pepper, diced (I use half and a few ribs of celery.)
1 can great northern beans
1 can kidney beans (or white kidney beans)
1 can pork and beans
1/2 C. brown sugar (I use 1/2-3/4 C. brown sugar and no white sugar.)
1/2 C. white sugar (I omit and use just 1/2-3/4 C. brown sugar.)
1/4 C.+ ketchup
1-2 Tbsp. molasses
1 scant Tbsp. prepared yellow mustard
1 scant Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

1. 1) If using, cook bacon until crispy. Blot free of grease and crumble.
2. 2) If using, brown ground beef with diced onion.
3. 3) Place first 3 items in a large oven roaster or Crock Pot.
4. 4) To this, add the 3 cans of beans; do not drain pork and beans.
5. 5) Mix all other ingredients together in a medium bowl.
6. 6) Pour over meat and beans and stir well.
7. 7) If baking, cook at 350 degrees for 1 hour covered.
8. 8) Remove lid or foil and bake for 20 more minutes.

NOTE: When I don't have a can of pork and beans I've been known to add a can of Rotel and a little BBQ sauce when making these to make a good, juicy sauce.
