We planned this for July 24, but discovered that morning we were out of charcoal. That's how we learned this recipe works beautifully in a slow cooker! 

 

Campfire Beans

 

4 strips bacon

1 pound bulk sausage

1 large onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 large can baked beans

4-6 15.5 ounce cans of beans

2 cups ketchup

2 cups BBQ sauce

1/4 cup brown sugar

Salt and pepper

Hot sauce

 

Heat Dutch oven to medium high heat over campfire or coals. Fry bacon until it just begins to crisp. Remove and set aside. Brown sausage, breaking up clumps. Add onion and stir until tender. Add all remaining ingredients including bacon. Stir well and bring mixture to a simmer. Bring to low boil, cover and move to low heat area of the fire to simmer. Serve in as little as an hour or simmer much longer if necessary.
