Do not obsess about how much veggies you add tho,' I...

Ingredients

1 lg onion chopped
i ea green, red & orange or yellow pepper chopped
1 lb bacon chopped
1 can button mushrooms, drained & halved
1 can kidney beans, well drained
1 can black beans, well drained
2 cans brown beans in sauce
1 can cut green beans or equivalent amount of frozen green beans
1/2 c brown sugar
1 455 ml jar of heinz chili sauce

Steps:

1. Use a large pot for this as it makes quite a large amount. Chop onions, peppers & halve mushrooms. Chop bacon & fry till softened but not hard cooked. If you have a LOT of bacon fat left, you could drain some off but it is best not to skimp with it. Add onions & peppers & saute till softened. Add mushrooms.
2. Add the drained beans, the Chili sauce, brown sugar & cook for 2 1/2 hours in the oven at 250 degrees or on top of the stove at low heat stirring occasionally.

Tips:

Soak the beans overnight: Soaking the beans overnight helps to reduce the cooking time and makes them more digestible.
Use a variety of beans: Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of beans, such as kidney beans, black beans, or pinto beans.
Add flavorings to the beans: You can add a variety of flavorings to the beans, such as bacon, ham, onions, garlic, or brown sugar.
Cook the beans on low heat: Cooking the beans on low heat helps to prevent them from becoming tough.
Let the beans rest before serving: Letting the beans rest before serving allows the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Baked beans are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a summer cookout or a cold winter day. With a few simple tips, you can make baked beans that are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
