Cut bacon into bite sized pieces, in a pan fry bacon until soft done tossing occasionally. In the mean time chop your onion. Rinse butter beans and kidney beans in a strainer running water over the top of them until the foam is gone. Leave to drain and dry. Dump baked beans into slow cooker. Remove bacon to paper towel lined plate to drain. Set aside. Add chopped onion to hot bacon grease and simmer until translucent. Add ground meat. Brown meat with onion until done. Drain. Add meat and remaining beans to slow cooker. Add brown sugar, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and molasses. Mix well. Cover slow cooker and set to low. Cook 4-6 hours.
