Instructions
1: In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate. 2: In the same pot (with the bacon grease), add the ground beef. Cook until browned, then drain and set aside. 3: Add the sliced hot links and hot dogs to the pan. Cook until browned and slightly crispy on the edges. Remove and drain on a paper towel. 4: Carefully pour off most of the grease, then return the pot to the heat. Add baked beans, brown sugar, and BBQ sauce. Stir well to combine. 5: Cover and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. 6: Add all the cooked meats—bacon, beef, hot links, and hot dogs—back into the pot. Stir to combine. 7: Let everything simmer together for 15–20 minutes so the flavors meld into a rich, savory stew. 8: Ladle into bowls and serve hot with cornbread, white rice, or crackers on the side.View original recipe
