Cousin Dawn actually got this recipe from one of her relatives. I find it's easy and portable to make in a crock pot and bring to cook outs. That way, you can plug it in when you get there and keep it warm (at a food-safe temperature).

Minus the meat. For vegetarian friends, feel free to omit the meat but be sure the baked bean can is vegetarian since most contain pork fat.
Taster approved!
Cousin Dawn’s Bean Recipe
Cook 5 strips of bacon and crumble.
Saute a chopped up onion, then add 3 cloves of chopped garlic and saute briefly.
add 1/2 lb lean ground beef and brown it up once onions are cooked
and add to:
1 Large can of baked beans (any variety)
3 cans of beans (butter, canellini, navy, pinto, ect) the butter are the best!!
1/3 cup brown sugar

Bake @ 350 for about an hour or cook in a crock pot on high.
Feel free to cook longer; just keep and eye on it and stir occasionally.
