Gluten Free Baked Beans

Some folks call them the"Magical Fruit". I love baked beans and here is a great spin on a classic dish! 

                                                   ---Cook Because You Can

7 slices of bacon fried

1 medium onion

1/2 cup ketchup

1/4 cup white vinegar

1 tsp dry mustard

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1 cup brown sugar

1 can each (baby lima beans, dark red kidney beans, pork and beans (medium size), huge lima beans)

Cook bacon until crisp. Cook onions in small amount of bacon grease until tender ( I like to add a small amount of brown sugar to carmalize the onions).

Mix ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, salt, pepper,vinegar and cook in a saucepot over low heat for 20 minutes. 

Mix beans (undrained), onion, and ketchup mixture. Pour into pan and bake @ 350 for 1 hour.

Put bacon in a small ziploc bag and crush into bits and pour into a bowl. Use bacon bits as a topping on each individual serving for a nice crunch!
