Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Remove bacon from the grease and crumble after cool to touch, then set aside.

Brown ground beef, drain.

(Cooking the meats beforehand keeps from having a greasy dish of beans).

Works just as well, but the oven is the preferred method.

Sometimes I will add extra cans of beans.
14
Ive thrown in black beans and red beans before.
15
Always drain these types of beans.
16
Just make a little extra sauce if adding more than the three cans in the recipe.
