Hearty Baked Beans image

This saucy dish is flavorful and filling, chock-full of ground beef, bacon and four varieties of beans. I've had the recipe for years, and I make it often for big appetites at home and for potlucks at work and church. -Cathy Swancutt, Junction City, Oregon

These baked beans are a great way to get my kids to eat their vegetables. They love the sweet and smoky flavor of the beans and they don't even notice the vegetables.

These baked beans are a great make-ahead dish. I can make them a day or two ahead of time and then just reheat them when I'm ready to serve.

These baked beans are a great way to use up leftover ham. I always have some ham leftover after Easter and this is a great way to use it up.
