  • 1
    Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 3 quart casserole dish. You don't need to preheat oven right away because the first part of this recipe calls for cooking some ingredients on the stove top.
  • 2
    In large skillet cook bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towels. When cool, dice and set aside. Reserve drippings!
  • 3
    Add onion slices to fat in hot skillet.
  • 4
    Add syrup or brown sugar to skillet, along with garlic powder and dry mustard.
  • 5
    Reduce heat to medium and CAREFULLY add vinegar, slowly. Take care because hot steam will rise.
  • 6
    Cover and cook this mixture for 20 minutes.
  • 7
    Add beans (all kinds) to casserole dish. Stir in onion mixture and bacon pieces. Mix well. Cover and bake in 350* oven for 45 minutes.
