Cook bacon in a large stovetop-safe Dutch oven over medium heat. When nearly cooked, add crumbled beef and onion. Stir and cook until the bacon is cooked, onion softens and ground beef reaches 71°C.
Add all five canned bean products, ketchup, sugar, mustard, molasses and Worcestershire sauce. Stir, bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 10–15 minutes, stirring so it does not stick.
Stir in liquid smoke, check seasoning and serve hot as twelve source portions. Refrigerate leftovers promptly in shallow containers.
