1 can each – kidney beans, baby lima beans, butter beans, pork and beans ½ lb. bacon
1 c. brown sugar
1 large onion, chopped

Fry and dice bacon (or dice and fry – your preference). Remove bacon, add onion to drippings and cook. Add seasonings and simmer 20 minutes.

Then I skim off the bacon fat before pouring over the beans.)
