Ingredients

• 56 ounces canned baked beans
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
• 4 slices bacon, chopped
• 0.5 cups brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
• 0.25 cups ketchup
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving about 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the skillet.

Step 3

In the same skillet, sauté the finely chopped onion and diced green bell pepper in the reserved bacon grease until they are softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the baked beans, cooked bacon, sautéed onion and peppers, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, mustard, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together until evenly combined.

Step 5

Pour the bean mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish or a large oven-safe casserole dish.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, for 1 hour or until the sauce has thickened and the beans are bubbling.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. For added flavor, garnish with additional cooked bacon bits if desired.

Step 8

Serve warm as a delicious side dish or enjoy on its own!
