Ingredients

1/2 pound ground beef

1 large onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 tsp salt (more to taste)

1/2 cup ketchup

1/2 cup barbecue sauce

2 tablespoons yellow mustard

2 tablespoons molasses

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

6 cups cooked beans and one cup bean juice (I use little red beans)

1/2 pound bacon strips, cooked and crumbled ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

     Preheat oven to 350°. In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat 6-8 minutes or until beef is no longer pink, breaking up beef into crumbles; drain. Stir in sugars, ketchup, barbecue sauce, mustard, molasses and chili powder. Add beans and bacon.
