my dear elderly aunt makes a similar recipe and at every gathering, everyone always expects her to bring 'her beans'. This served as a nice base. I doubled the bean amount and kept the meat amounts the same (had 1.30# ground round) This fits very nicely doubled into a 6 quart crockpot. I used 2 packages of lipton 'beefy onion' soup mix, as well as 1 large onion and 2 cloves garlic. Used honeycup sharp mustard for the powder, worstershire, and less brown sugar. Used a bag of the 15 beans, limas, black beans, kidneys, garbanzos. The larger variety of beans give it more eye-appeal. Just play around with this recipe and you will be pleasantly surprised. Since I cooked my own garbanzos and 15 beans from dry, I added a little more liquid to help them not be dry once they had absorbed more liquid during cooking. I put them together the day before because I remember these taste even better the next day.
