Although the name would indicate strictly a vegetable dish, this is a full one-pot meal which is especially good on a cool day. I received this recipe from a dear friend many years ago, and it has been popular with everyone.
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1/2 lb bacon (or cut up sausage)
1 cup onion (chopped)
1 garlic clove
1 (19 -20 ounce) can pork and beans
1 (19 -20 ounce) can butter beans
1 (19 -20 ounce) can ranch style beans
1/4 cup brown sugar (or less according to taste)
1 tablespoon vinegar
1/2 cup catsup
1 teaspoon dry mustard
salt
pepper
Directions:
1. Brown and thoroughly cook the meats and onion together in a skillet on low temperature using minimal amounts of cooking oil.
2. Then, place cooked meat (including juice) and all other ingredients in a crock pot for at least two hours. Stir occasionally to blend tastes.
