This is my aunts recipe, similar to calico beans, written in my mom’s hand. She was born and raised in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and learned the Palmer Method of writing. I make these beans to take to picnics and pot lucks. I usually double the recipe and sometimes add molasses.
What is the 5th item?
This is an interesting recipe. Uses many of the same ingredients that my grandmother's recipe uses with dried navy beans and which bakes for 5 hour in a low oven.
The vinegar is new to me.
Please post a photo the next time you make it, John.

Vinegar gives it a tangy taste. The fifth ingredient is pork and beans but I use a big can of Bush’s Beans.
I’ll be making it again in August for my son’s birthday bbq.

The beans are done and ready for oven. I couldn’t find canned Lima beans so bought dried, soaked them almost 24°, still hard. I then brought them to a simmer and have them on the hob to soften. If they aren’t soft by the time I put dish in oven they are out.
Or use a pressure cooker. No soaking needed. High pressure 30 minutes and a natural 15 minute release.

I don’t have a small pressure cooker like my mother had - thought about that and wished I had one.
I have a Fagor stovetop 6 quart and an instant pot. If DD doesn’t want the stovetop you can have it.

These were heavily doctored with extra vinegar, a can of blended chick peas to thicken, and cocoa powder to darken.

I make something similar to the original post. I came with a BBQ, many years ago, in a little booklet. I usually use Bush's Baked Beans (Original). I usually make about a 1/3 recipe (1 can, etc). It is nice 'cuz one prepares it in advance and then lets the oven do the work. I get compliments whenever I make it for potluck. Recipe can be seen below. Please excuse the splatter stains!

I got up early and made Aunt Carolyn's beans for our sportsman’s club fun shoot and bbq. I’ll leave them on the hob for a bit then into the oven to bake an hour.
