My 85 year old father-in-law loves beans and these are at the top of his list.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Oh boy! This baked bean recipe is full of flavor and super delicious. There are a variety of beans cooked with ground beef, bacon, and onion. The recipe is seasoned with a bit of brown sugar, cider vinegar, salt, pepper, and a little liquid smoke. The light smokiness and sweet flavor mixed with the beef and beans mixture is exceptional. The consistency is a little thinner than typical baked beans, but this is one great recipe for summer barbecues.
