This is a great, make ahead dish to go with your hamburgers or other BBQ dishes in the summer time.  I’ve found that both adults and children dive right into it.  I like to use kidney beans and butter beans because of the difference in texture but you could easily substitute your favorite beans.  The recipe is also easily doubled, tripled or quadrupled for the number of people you’re serving.

Fancy Baked Beans

1/3 lb. bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 medium onion, sliced

1 can butter beans, drained and rinsed

Combine all ingredients in a baking dish or bean pot.  Bake 1 hour at 350 degrees.
