This recipe calls for Bush’s Brown Sugar Hickory Baked Beans, Kidney Beans, and Butter Beans. If you’re not a big fan of butter beans you can substitute by using cannellini beans or another favorite bean variety. I really think you can’t go wrong with any of them. Let’s get started on this simple recipe.   

In a large dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, bacon, onion, bell  and garlic.  Stir, cooking until ground beef is not longer pink. Using a wooden spoon break the ground beef into smaller pieces as it cooks. Drain any grease.
