Cowboy Beans

Cowboy Beans was a favorite 4-H picnic recipe when I was working. Easy to do for a crowd or for your family, in any quantity. The combination of different types of beans and sweet/sour mixture of vinegar, catsup and brown sugar mades a tasty addition to a summer or winter meal.
Here's a recipe for a family-sized preparation.

Cowboy Beans 

2 cans wax beans, drained
2 cans kidney beans, drained

This recipe works well in a large quantity
in a roaster oven. 

2 cans green beans, drained
2 cans pork & beans, drained
1 pound bacon (or less), sliced
2 onions, chopped
2 cups catsup
⅓ cup vinegar
1 cup brown sugar (some recipes call for more brown sugar, I've reduced it)

Directions: Saute together bacon and onion. Add (with bacon grease) to the mixture of all beans. Mix together catsup, vinegar, and brown sugar, then add to bean mixture. Bake at 350 for 1 hour or 250 for 3 hours.
