crockpot. Dice an onion. Sauté, drain and place in crockpot. Add 2 lbs. baked beans, 1 lb. chickpeas, 1 lb. red kidney beans, 1/2 c. catsup, 1/2 c. chili sauce, 3 tbsp. brown sugar, 3 tbsp. vinegar. Mix thoroughly. Set crockpot on low. Return 8-10 hours later to a wonderful dish. Serve with grilled hamburgers, hotdogs, or knockwurst on buns, or as a side dish with steak or pork chops, or by itself, with a nice big salad on the side.

peeled and quartered potatoes. If red potatoes are used, peeling is unnecessary. Add water to cover and a bay leaf. Boil for an hour. Serve with crusty bread and ale. : )
Variety: Add a cup or so of peeled baby carrots for color and/or a teaspoonful of dried mustard for flavor.
Option: You might use a fresh ham, but who would boil a fresh ham ?? Bake it, debone and trim the fat, and proceed above (tossing in the marrow bone for flavor. : )
