I got this recipe from my aunt and made a couple of changes to suit our tastes. With ground beef and bacon mixed in, these satisfying beans are a big hit at backyard barbecues and church picnics. I'm always asked to bring my special beans. —Julie Currington, Gahanna, Ohio

Ingredients

1/2 pound ground beef
5 bacon strips, diced
1/2 cup chopped onion

1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cans (15 ounces each) pork and beans, undrained
1 can (16 ounces) butter beans, rinsed and drained
