- 10-12 bacon strips (chopped)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
- 1 green bell pepper (diced)
- 1/2 jalapeño (diced)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 1/2 tsp dry mustard
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 5 tbsp ketchup
- 54 oz can pork and beans
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (for garnish)
Preheat the oven to 325F. While the oven is heating, in a nonstick skillet, cook the thick bacon strips halfway through on medium heat. Drain the bacon on a paper-towel lined plate, and roughly chop.
In a large skillet on medium heat, melt 2 tbsp butter. Add the diced onion and bell pepper and saute until softened. Add the remaining ingredients and combine well. Allow the mixture to reach a simmer and simmer for 1-2 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare a 13x9 baking dish with grease or cooking spray. Add the beans into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the bacon chunks on top of the beans. Bake between 2-3 hours. Allow the beans to sit for 5 minutes before serving.
