My husband does not like baked beans but can’t get enough of this Western-style dish. They are loaded with a variety of meats and get a little bit of sweetness from molasses and brown sugar. If you don’t have a slow cooker, you can bake them in the oven until heated through.

- ½ pound cooked ham, chopped
- ¼ cup ketchup

- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon molasses

Steps
- Crumble ground beef into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until no longer pink, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain off grease and transfer beef to a 4-quart or larger slow cooker.
- Stir baked beans with pork, bacon, ham, ketchup, brown sugar, onion, chili powder, and molasses into beef in the slow cooker until well combined. If mixture seems thick, stir in water until incorporated.
