                    I've come across many recipes for baked beans through the years, but none have the right amount of  kick.  I created this recipe from several different ideas I've gathered over time. It's my husband's favorite. Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                6 bacon strips, cut into 1-inch pieces  |  
                                                1/2 cup chopped onion  |  
                                                3 garlic cloves, minced  |  
                                                1 can (28 ounces) baked beans  |  
                                                1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained  |  
                                                1 can (16 ounces) butter beans, rinsed and drained  |  
                                                1/3 cup packed brown sugar  |  
                                                1/4 cup ketchup  |  
                                                2 tablespoons dijon mustard  |  
                                                1/2 teaspoon chili powder  |  
                                                1/2 teaspoon pepper  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. In a large skillet, partially cook the bacon. Remove with a slotted spoon to paper towels. Drain, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings. In the drippings, saute onion and garlic until tender. In a large bowl, combine the beans, onion mixture and bacon. Stir in the brown sugar, ketchup, mustard, chili powder and pepper. 2. Transfer to a greased 2-qt. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 50-60 minutes or until bubbly. Yield: 8 servings.                              |
