BETTY'S 3-BEAN HOT DISH (A LA MINNESOTA)
My dearest 80-something friend Betty gave me this sensational, hearty recipe for a 3-bean hot dish. She's Finnish, I believe this has roots to home, and it's really tasty! My hubby, who hates beans, demanded I get the recipe. We first devoured it at Betty and Jim's 60th wedding anniversary! Perfect for potlucks.

Steps:
- Brown the bacon & let it cool. Some of the bacon grease may be saved and added in with the hamburger if you choose too.
- Cut or break the bacon into bite size pieces.
- While bacon is cooling brown the hamburger with the chopped onion and pepper, then drain of the grease if needed.
- Add the bacon (and bacon grease if you choose to) to the hamburger.
- Mix together the ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, vinegar and salt.
- Stir this in to the hamburger/bacon mixture.
- Stir in all the cans of beans.
- Bake in large baking dish in 350 degree oven for 1 hour or in your crock pot on high about 3-4 hours.
- A few hints for everyone. Any leftovers may be frozen, so you may enjoy at a later time without the prep work. You may also use your own favorite beans instead of those suggested in the recipe -- lima beans, pork and beans, red beans, northern beans, etc. Sometimes, depending on how many people I am serving, I will use 1 1/2 lbs. of hamburger and an extra can or 2 of beans and it is always just as good.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Soak the beans overnight or for at least 4 hours before cooking. This will help them cook more evenly and reduce the cooking time.
- Use a variety of beans. This will give your dish a more complex flavor and texture. Good options include kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and navy beans.
- Season the beans well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. You can also add other spices, such as chili powder or cumin, to taste.
- Cook the beans until they are tender but still hold their shape. This will usually take about 1 hour.
- Drain the beans and rinse them with cold water before adding them to the casserole dish.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your casserole. Good options include corn, peas, carrots, and celery. You can also add other vegetables, such as zucchini or bell peppers, to taste.
- Use a good quality ground beef. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
- Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until it is cooked through. Drain the grease before adding it to the casserole dish.
- Use a creamy soup in your casserole. This will help to thicken the sauce and make it more flavorful. Good options include cream of mushroom soup, cream of celery soup, or cream of chicken soup.
- Top the casserole with a layer of cheese. This will help to brown the top of the casserole and add a cheesy flavor.
- Bake the casserole in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-45 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the casserole is heated through.
