Minnesota Baked Beans

• 1 (15 oz.) can each: kidney beans, butter beans, lima beans
• 1 large can pork and beans
• 1 lb. bacon
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 2 Tbsp. dry mustard
• 1/2 c. cider vinegar
• 3/4 c. brown sugar
• 1 large onion, diced

1. Drain 3 cans of beans and put into a 3 or 4-quart casserole. Add pork and beans with juices.
2. Dice and fry bacon until crisp. Remove bacon.
3. Drain grease.
4. Save.
5. Add few tablespoons of grease to skillet.
6. Saute diced onion until transparent.
7. Return bacon grease to skillet.
8. Add garlic powder, salt, dry mustard, vinegar and brown sugar.
9. Simmer 20 minutes.
10. Mixture will turn syrupy. Pour over beans and bacon in casserole.
11. I use up to 1 cup of bacon grease to make syrup.
12. This may sound greasy (but it isn't) and it is oh sooo good and different for a special barbecue or picnic. Best served hot.
13. Make day before for flavors to mix.
14. Serves 12 to 15.
