Easy Slow Cooker Recipes – Hobo Bean and Bacon Chili

My friend JJ can cook a mean, well, anything really. I’m always trying {and loving} her recipes. So when I saw this one {which she technically found in a book about Casey Jones, of all places}, and she raved all about it and about how her children were begging and harassing her to remake it daily, I knew I had to put it on my list. And those kids have some taste buds I agree with. It was awesome. Every last spoonful of it!

Ingredients

6 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
1 pound of ground beef
1 large onions, diced
1 pound dried red beans, cooked
1 cup crushed pineapple
1 cup brown sugar, gently packed
1 quart of tomato sauce
1 tablespoon brown spicy mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon of vinegar

Directions

In a large skillet, fry bacon until crispy, drain and set aside. Leaving the bacon grease in the pan, add the ground beef and onions and cook until meat is browned.

Throw all ingredients into a slow cooker. Cook on low for 4 hours. Enjoy!
