HEARTY BAKED BEANS

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
