Never really cared much for baked beans until I tried this at a work potluck. I chased down the gal that made it and got the recipe. My family loved it. Then I lost the recipe. Years later I met the same gal at a different job and got this recipe back. Now I have copies in several different cookbooks and have given it to many friends so I shan't lose it again.

How to Make Best in the West Baked Beans
- Brown ground beef and bacon. Drain. Add onion and cook till tender. Add all other ingredients except the beans and mix well.
- Drain kidney beans and butter beans. Add all beans to meat mixture. Pour into 3 quart casserole dish or into crock pot.
- To prepare in oven, bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
To prepare in crock pot, cook on high for 1 hour. Reduce heat to low and cook for 4 hours.
I always double this for family get to gathers or pot lucks - This recipe is great for Dutch Oven cooking. Triple recipe for a 12 inch Dutch Oven.
