Slow Cooker Baked Beans for winter time warmth

 Top picture with some of the ingredients including molasses, kidney beans, pork and beans and butter beans (also sometimes known as lima beans)

Baked Beans p. 34 in the VV5th cookbook from 2008
1 lb. ground beef, browned
1 small onion, chopped and sauteed
2/3 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. molasses
1/2 c. catsup
2 T. mustard
1/2 c. BBQ sauce
1/4 tsp. chili powder
1 (16-oz.) can kidney beans
1 (16-oz.) can lima beans
1 (16-oz.) can pork and beans
3 slices bacon, browned and crumbled

Combine all ingredients except bacon in a slow cooker.  Cook on low for 5-6 hours.  Top with bacon.

(Cook's note:  Lima beans and butter beans have a mixed definition- some people say they are the same others that they are different.  I could only find butter beans so that's what I used and we liked them in the dish.  Also, the cans of beans are now 15-oz instead of 16-oz.)
