3 BEAN CASSEROLE

I love this recipe that came from the West Virginia State 4-H’ers and Extension Homemakers and the State 4-H Camp at Jackson’s Mill, West Virginia. 

It transfers easily to a crock-pot meal.  Instead of baking, just toss everything into a slow-cooker for at least 2 hours or until it bubbles and the bacon is cooked.
