Ingredients

　　2 tablespoons bacon fat or vegetable oil

　　1 cup sliced onions

　　Two 1-pound cans Boston-style baked beans

　　1 cup diced cooked ham

　　1 tablespoon prepared mustard

　　2 tomatoes, peeled and sliced

　　2 teaspoons brown sugar

　　1 teaspoon salt

　　Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Heat the fat in a heavy skillet, add the onions, and sauté until tender. Combine the beans, ham, and mustard; arrange half this mixture in a 2-quart casserole. Place half of the onions and tomatoes over the beans; sprinkle with half of the sugar and salt. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Bake, covered, for 30 minutes. Uncover the casserole and bake for 5 minutes longer.
