How to Make Bean Quartet Casserole

  1. Cook 1 medium onion, chopped, and 4 slices bacon, diced, in a large skillet over medium heat until bacon is crisp and onion is tender (about 8-10 minutes).
  2. Remove bacon and onion mixture from skillet; drain off excess grease, reserving about 1 tablespoon of bacon grease.
  3. In a 2 1/2 to 3-quart casserole dish, combine the bacon and onion mixture with:
  4. * 1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  5. * 1 (15-ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  6. * 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  7. * 1 (15-ounce) can great northern beans, rinsed and drained
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together:
  9. * 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  10. * 1/4 cup ketchup
  11. * 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  12. Pour the brown sugar mixture evenly over the bean mixture in the casserole dish. Stir gently to combine.
  13. Bake, covered, at 375°F (190°C) for 50 minutes.
  14. Remove the cover and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and the sauce is bubbly.
