Obviously, I drained most of bacon fat into my bacon grease canister ๐Ÿ˜‰

โ— Stir in beans with pork and frankfurters. I like to get color on franks first, in same pan with onion. Mix in brown sugar, and mustard until well combined.

โ€ข Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.

*Note – if you don’t use bacon, use 2 tbs of butter to sautรฉ onions.

Or if not available, Tillamook is really good!
