Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Place bacon on sheet pan in a single layer. If the bacon is thinner, you might need 2 pans.
Sprinkle generously with pepper.
Bake for 10 minutes, flip, then bake another 5-10 minutes until crisp and done.
Remove bacon from the oven and place it in a single layer on a plate lined with paper towels to keep it crispy.
Meanwhile, in a ceramic dutch oven or medium/large saucepan, brown ground beef.
When ground beef is almost cooked add chopped white onion, dry mustard, and a little salt and pepper. Cook until fully browned.
Add vinegar, brown sugar, white sugar, ketchup, and all the beans and stir to combine.
Bake, covered, at 350 degrees F for 30-40 minutes until warm through and thickened.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.
