Ingredients:
1 lbs Bacon cut in 1 inch lengths
1 lb lean Beef
1 lb lean Pork Sausage
2 large diced Onions
¾ cup Brown Sugar
¾ cup White Sugar
1-1/2 c. KC Masterpiece Bold BBQ Sauce
5 Tbsp Prepared Mustard
1 Tbsp Chili Powder
½ tsp. Black pepper
5 Tbsp Honey
Pork & Beans – 2 ea. 30 oz. Cans (Don’t drain)

Pinto Beans – 2 ea. 15 oz. Cans, drained
Butter Beans – 2 ea. 15 oz Cans, drained
Black Beans – 2 ea. 15 oz Cans, drained
1 clove Garlic, minced
Juice of 2 fresh limes

Cooking Instructions:
Brown bacon, set aside. Brown burger, pork and onions - cook until clear. Drain off all excess fat. Add all beans, garlic, BBQ sauce, lime juice, mustard. Add remaining ingredients. Stir and cook over medium heat until hot throughout.

Size of Dutch Oven: This will completely fill a DEEP 12” Dutch oven. Use a 14” for convenience if you’ve got it.

Servings: Unless you’re serving a very large group at the annual company picnic, I suggest cutting this recipe in half. As listed it will serve 20-30 people.
