EASY COWBOY BEANS

Steps:

• Cook bacon until crispy. Drain and crumble. Put in large pot.
• Brown ground beef and onions together. Drain. Add to pot. (Bacon can be cooked with the ground beef and onions if cut into chunks. I use kitchen shears to just cut through all the slices--into about 1-1/2" chunks.).
• Add the rest of the ingredients to the pot. DO NOT drain the beans! Stir everything together.
• Bring to a boil, then turn down heat and simmer for about an hour. If you're going to let it simmer, don't add the lima beans right away, as they tend to fall apart.
• These are generally better the next day, but are might fine the same day!
