NOTE: "This is a recipe I use every football season."

1 pound bacon, diced
3 to 4 heaping teaspoons brown sugar
4 onions, diced
1/2 jar molasses
4 large (1 pound 11 ounce) cans baked beans, drained
4 tablespoons vinegar (or slightly less)
2 teaspoons mustard
16 ounces ketchup

Cook bacon and onion until tender; drain. Mix all of the ingredients together and stir until well blended. Bake at 350 degrees for 2 hours. Or bake in a 5-quart crock pot on No. 2 setting for 5 hours. The longer it cooks, the better it tastes.

Tester's note: We halved this recipe and made it in the crock pot, using 1 package Sugardale Ready Cooked Peppered Bacon to save time. It tied for No.1 among my samplers.
