Better Than Great Baked Beans

This is our own combination of several baked bean recipes from newspapers, friends and here on recipezaar.

Combine bacon , ground beef , and onions in a kettle.

Cook over medium heat until onion is softened and meat is partially cooked.

Add sugars , vinegar , dry mustard , ketchup and chili sauce.

Simmer for about 20 minutes.

Then add beans , transfer to a large baking dish and bake for one hour at 325 degrees.

Can be prepared in a crockpot , but the beans will retain more liquid.

Oven-baking is really best.
