Trin for trin

1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
Ca. 5 min.
2
In a large, oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crisp.
Ca. 8 min.
Kokkens note: Cooking the bacon first renders fat that will be used to cook the vegetables, adding extra flavor.
3
Remove the cooked bacon with a slotted spoon and set it aside, leaving about one tablespoon of bacon fat in the pot.
Ca. 1 min.
4
Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Ca. 5 min.
5
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for one minute more until fragrant.
Ca. 1 min.
6
Add the ground beef to the pot, break it up with a spoon, and cook until browned all over.
Ca. 8 min.
7
Carefully drain any excess fat from the pot.
Ca. 1 min.
8
Stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, salt, and ground black pepper.
Ca. 1 min.
Kokkens note: Scrape the bottom of the pot to release any flavorful browned bits.
9
Add the undrained pork and beans, along with the rinsed and drained kidney beans, lima beans, and butter beans.
Ca. 1 min.
10
Crumble the reserved cooked bacon and add it to the mixture, stirring gently to combine everything.
Ca. 1 min.
11
If your pot is not oven-safe, transfer the mixture to a 3-quart (or 3-liter) casserole dish.
Ca. 2 min.
12
Cover the pot or dish with a lid or aluminum foil and bake for 60 minutes.
Ca. 1 t.
13
Remove the cover and bake for an additional 15 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken and the top to brown slightly.
Ca. 15 min.
14
Let the casserole rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.
Ca. 5 min.
Kokkens note: Resting allows the casserole to set, making it easier to serve.
