Mom's Chuckwagon Beans created by Slpee1

One of my Mom's most requested recipes. Great for large family gatherings, pot-lucks and cookouts! This is very hearty; not mushy at all. I've actually made this for a main dish since it's so filing. Enjoy!

Love this recipe. I use Jimmy Dean Hot sausage instead of the ground beef and substitute Ranch Style beans with Jalapeños instead of the kidney beans. Everyone loves this recipe. Thanks for sharing.

Do you crumble the bacon? Also, do you save the bacon drippings to cook the ground beef & onion in them? Thank you for sharing this recipe, my husband loves it!

Everyone loves when we bring these to cookouts! If the picture comes through - that is the batch we just made. I omit the granular sugar but add all the bacon drippings (what a nice word for all that grease haha). The serving size mentioned doesn't quite match my servings. This size batch will do a side serving of 8-10 or 4-6 very hearty (using as the meal) servings.
