2 lbs very lean ground beef, fry and drained running hot water over the beef
thru a colander, set aside. A combination of ground lean turkey and ground lean beef
may be used as a replacement.
1 lb. bacon chopped and fried. Drain well on paper towels.
1 large onion chopped
4 16 oz cans drained green beans rinsed
3 16oz cans drained yellow beans rinsed
1 64 oz can of baked beans (do not drain)
2 16oz cans drained Northern beans rinsed
2 16oz cans hot chili beans do not drain
2 16oz cans drained kidney beans rinsed
2 16oz cans drained butter beans rinsed
Sauce ingredients:
1 16oz can diced tomatoes do not drain
1 1/2 cup catsup
4 T. brown sugar
2 Tab. dry mustard
5 teas. apple cider vinegar
2 teas. sea salt
2 very large sweet green peppers chopped large
Spray a large crockpot with non-stick spray. Combine beef, bacon, and sauce ingredients in very
large bowl. Add all the beans and stir lightly. Pour into very large crock pot. Heat on high 2 hrs till
bubbly, adding the chopped green peppers the last 45 minutes. Cook till bubbly. Pour into
individual bowls and serve with tortilla chips. Pairs well with a salad on the side.
I rinse the beans to remove extra salt and try to buy low sodium beans. Use any combination of
different types of beans. I adjust the sweetness as needed. 2 seeded chopped jalapenas could
be added for a sweet/hot flavor along with using the hot chili beans. The green and yellow beans seem a little
different but are an excellent choice, low calorie added to the mix of beans. Very hearty dish for a cool
nite...can be served as a chili with cheese, lettuce, and lite sour cream topping.
