Baked Beans With A Kick Food

BAKED BEANS WITH A KICK

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to just below the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 F.
• Dice onion, bell pepper and jalapenos. If you include the seeds of the jalapenos, beans will have more spice.
• Cut bacon into pieces about ½" - 1" long. Stirring enough to make sure the bacon does not burn, fry over medium-high heat in a cast iron skillet or other heavy frying pan until the bacon is about half way cooked. Do not discard bacon fat. Use a slotted spoon to remove bacon chunks and pile on paper towels to drain.
• Add the diced onion, bell pepper and jalapenos to the bacon grease in the frying pan. Continue to fry over medium-high heat stirring frequently for 2-3 minutes until the veggies have softened.
• Meanwhile open the cans of beans and drain up to 1" of liquid off the top of each can. Pour the remainder of the beans and liquid into a large mixing bowl.
• Add the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, liquid smoke and black pepper. Add the veggies when they are done.
• Gently fold the mixture together with a rubber spatula until it is thoroughly mixed. Pour it into a 9"x13" casserole dish or equivalent pan. Scatter the bacon over the top.
• Bake 1-2 hours until the sauce is the thickness of syrup (cooking time is up to your personal taste). After baking let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
