Baked Beans (Doctored Up)

Ingredients:
1 1/2 large cans baked beans (#10 can size each)
1 lb. bacon
1 medium onion, diced 
1/8 c. mustard
1 c. brown sugar


Directions:
Cut bacon into small pieces.  In a large saucepan, fry the bacon until crispy then remove to a small bowl.  In the bacon grease left over in the pan, saute the onion until translucent.


Open the cans of baked beans and drain off most of the liquid from the cans (otherwise it will be soupy).  Place the partially drained beans into a large crockpot.  Drain off the bacon grease from the onion and add both the onion and bacon to the beans in the crockpot.  Add the mustard and brown sugar.  Stir well.  


Turn the crockpot on to high for 1 hour or low for 2 hours (or until heated through), stirring occasionally.  


Note~ I only used 1 1/2 cans of the baked beans because my crockpot would not hold any more.  I used beans that listed that it had been cooked with bacon and brown sugar.  If you like spicy foods, you can also try adding 1/8 c. hot sauce of your choice.
