8 servings

  • 6 slices bacon, or more to taste
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, or more to taste, diced
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans pork and beans
  • 1 (16 ounce) can light red kidney beans
  • 1 (16 ounce) can butter beans
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crispy, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels, leaving bacon grease in the skillet. Crumble bacon when cool enough to handle.

  • Cook and stir ground beef in the same skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to the slow cooker.
  • Add pork and beans, kidney beans, butter beans, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke to the slow cooker.
