Tasty Tuesday: Ranch Beans

First, let me clarify. These beans are not ranch flavored. The "ranch" actually refers to a cattle ranch. And cowboys, but Ranch Beans had a better ring to it than Cowboy Beans.

These hearty beans cook up in the crock pot to give you a warm meal after a full day in the wonderful fall weather.

How To:

•1 lb hamburger, cooked & crumbled

•1 lb. bacon,  cooked & diced

•2 cans baked beans

•1 can kidney beans, rinsed & drained

•1 can butter or great northern beans, rinsed & drained

•ketchup

•brown sugar

•1 medium onion, diced

•salt & pepper

- Combine all ingredients in crock pot using desired amounts of ketchup & brown sugar.

- Cook on low for 6-8 hrs. or high for 4-6 hrs.

- Best served with crusty bread.
