This is a traditional recipe in Quιbec. Most of the time we eat it on Sunday morning as our breakfast alone or with bread. For a bigger breakfast they are a great accompaniment with eggs and bacon, ham or sausage and pancakes. I changed the original recipe that is made with salted pork. The taste is exactly the same and they are more healthy. But I add one teaspoon of natural oil on top of each plate before serving...

• 2 can of Pork & Beans ( 31 oz.) • 1 can drained Kidney Beans (15 oz.)
• 1 can drained Lima Beans ( 15 oz.) • 1 can drained Butter Beans (15 oz.)
Pour in a large oven cooking pan

Brown together the following:
• ½ Pound bacon (drain fat) • ½ Pound lean hamburger

Add the following to the two last ingredients :
• 3 tbsp. vinegar • ½ cup brown sugar • ½ cup catsup • 1 onion (chopped) • 1 tsp. dry mustard
•Cook & pour over the beans
