These beans are delicious and absolutely no cowboys were harmed in the making of them.

1 lg & 1 sm can Bush’s Original Baked Beans

1/2 cup ketchup

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 pound lean ground beef

4 ounces bacon, chopped (I just used the kind in the bag in the salad dressing eisle)

1/2 cup chopped onion

4 teaspoons Vidalia Onion dressing

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F, or you can use a Crockpot. In a large skillet over medium heat fry the ground beef, bacon and onion together until ground beef is no longer pink. Drain the fat. In a large bowl combine the beans, ketchup, brown sugar, vidalia onion dressing and the beef mixture. Mix throughly. Pour the bean and meat mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish and bake in a preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes. Or, if you want to use the crockpot, put bean and beef mixture in crockpot and set on low four hours.
