Time 2h30m

Yield 18 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 slices regular bacon, diced
1 medium onion, cut into small dice
1 medium green bell pepper, cut into small dice
1 red bell pepper, cut into small dice
1 fresh jalapeno, chopped
4 large cans (28 ounces each) pork and beans
1 cup barbecue sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup distilled or cider vinegar
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
2 chipotle peppers, minced
6 slices thin bacon

Steps:

  • Adjust the oven rack to the lower-middle position and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Fry the regular chopped bacon in a large, deep skillet until the bacon has partially cooked and released about 1/4 cup drippings. Add the onions, peppers and jalapenos, and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the beans, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, ketchup, mustard and chipotles, and bring to a simmer. (If the skillet is not large enough, add the beans and heat to a simmer and then transfer to a large bowl and stir in the remaining ingredients). Pour the flavored beans into an aluminum pan. Top with the uncooked slices of bacon (you can halve the slices if you like). Then bake until the beans are bubbly and the sauce is the consistency of pancake syrup, about 2 hours. Let stand to thicken slightly and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, flavorful bacon, and a variety of beans will make a big difference in the final dish.
  • Don't skimp on the bacon: Bacon adds a delicious smoky flavor to the beans. Use at least 1 pound of bacon for a 9x13 inch pan of beans.
  • Use a variety of beans: Using a variety of beans will give the dish a more complex flavor and texture. Try using a combination of pinto beans, kidney beans, black beans, and navy beans.
  • Add some sweetness: A little bit of sweetness helps to balance out the savory flavors in the beans. Add a tablespoon or two of brown sugar or maple syrup to the pot.
  • Season the beans well: Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other spices to taste. Try adding a teaspoon of chili powder, cumin, or smoked paprika.
  • Bake the beans low and slow: This will help the flavors to develop and the beans to become tender. Bake the beans at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 2 hours, or until they are heated through.
  • Serve the beans hot: Baked beans are best served hot, right out of the oven. They can be served as a main course or a side dish.
