Fitchburg Beans

This is the one and only Bean recipe I prepare. I am the only one in the family who will eat it. It lasts for a long time since it makes a big batch. It is very yummy.

8 bacon strips fried, diced
2 small onions quartered
3/4 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. vinegar
1 t. salt
1 t. gr. mustard
1/2 t. garlic powder
2 cans baked beans (16 oz)
1 can kidney beans (16 oz)
1 can butter beans (16oz)
1 can cut green beans (14 1/2 oz)

Rinse and drain beans. Cook bacon, saute onion in drippings. Stir in brown sugar, vinegar, salt, mustard, garlic. Simmer uncovered 15 min. Combine beans in a slow cooker. Add onion mix and bacon. Cook 6-7 hours.
