Calico Baked Beans

1/2 to 1 pound ground beef
3/4 pound bacon cut in pieces
1 cup chopped onion
2 (20 ounce) cans pork and beans
1 (16 ounce) can kidney beans drained
1 (16 ounce) can buttered lima beans
1 cup catsup
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons white vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
Black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon liquid smoke (optional)

Brown ground beef, bacon, and onion. Drain. Pour into baking dish or crock pot. stir in remaining ingredients. Cook in baking dish in oven set at 325 for 1 1/2 hours, or in crock pot set on low for 4-6 hrs. Makes eight servings.

The people I got this recipe from substituted red beans and garbanzo beans for the kidney and lima beans called for above and added a little extra bacon, brown sugar, and some barbecue sauce as well as some spicy seasoned pepper.
This recipe came from the Shelley 1st ward cook book and is credited to Janet Evans
