Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 12 ounces bacon chopped

- 2/3 cup ketchup
- 1/3 cup barbecue sauce
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar

Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the lean ground beef until no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

- In the same skillet, fry the chopped bacon until crispy, 5-9 minutes. Then add the diced onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about an additional 5-7 minutes.

- Transfer the beef and the bacon-onion mixture to a slow cooker. Stir in the kidney beans, white beans, pork and beans, ketchup, barbecue sauce, light brown sugar, and liquid smoke.

- Cover and cook on low for about 2 hours. Stir once during cooking. Serve warm.
