-
In large skillet or Dutch oven brown hamburger; as you are doing this add the envelope of onion soup mix.
When hamburger/soup mix is browned, add can of Manwich BOLD.
Next lightly rinse all beans except the Bushes baked beans.
Add petite diced tomatoes and all types of beans to hamburger/soup/Manwich mixture.
Stir together over medium heat.
Add ketchup, Heinz 57, and brown sugar.
Heat thoroughly.
Dish into large bowls.

Sometimes this dish will become very thick, if this happens you can thin with water or beef broth.
Special Note: You can pretty much add or delete any bean you like or maybe dislike?!
Just have fun! and ENJOY!
This recipe makes quite a bit. So if you're not feeding 8-12 you can freeze the extra or half the recipe.
