2 cans Pork and Beans drain off as much of that juice as you can if you want thick, not runny beans
1/2 C Catsup
1/4 C Mustard
1 T Liquid smoke
1/4 C Brer Rabbit syrup (not that watery runny stuff) I like full cane flavor (some use brown sugar)
**1/3 C bacon grease melted (see note)
Onions peeled and depending on the size left whole, halved or quartered
Brown Sugar bacon, crumbled (recipe to follow)
Place well drained beans in your crock pot set on low heat. From here on out it's totally a matter of taste, I have never measured anything in this recipe ever, so the measurements above are no more than educated guesses and too, ti also depends on how many cans of beans you are using. Stir together all the ingredients except for the onions and the bacon, taste and adjust to your liking. submerge the onions in the beans and allow to cook for at least 4 hours. When ready to serve top with crumbled bacon
**Note: you can do this same recipe in a casserole dish, in the oven at 350 degrees for about a hour, except I usually just lay several strips of bacon on top of the beans before I bake them and don't add the bacon grease

Brown Sugar Bacon
Preheat oven to 400 deg. Lay bacon on a metal rack that fits over a 1 inch deep cookie sheet or use a broiler pan, so the fat can drain away from the bacon. Sprinkle brown sugar over the top of the bacon to form a thin layer (you don't want it too sweet). Place in the oven for about 20 minutes, but keep a close eye on it cause one minute it will be almost done and the next, it will be burnt. Blot the top of the bacon with a paper towel to remove the excess bacon grease on top of the bacon. Great on Hamburgers, BLT's on top of beans as well as all by itself.
My potato salad is another recipe I can't put on Tasty Kitchen...I don't measure, I just dump and mix till it taste good. This is what I usually do.
