BBBB: Best Baked Beans w/ Bacon

I got this original recipe from thepioneerwoman.com. These are incredible, simple, and so delicious! You will never make any other baked beans, again. I mixed it up a little bit. I used peppered bacon, spicy Oklahoma Joe's BBQ sauce, and spicy mustard.

Ingredients
8 slices o' bacon, halved
1 medium-small onion, diced
1 small green bell pepper, diced
3 cans of baked beans
3/4 cup BBQ sauce, I used Night of the Living Dead (OK Joe's)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tbs. spicy mustard and/or Dijon mustard

Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees
2. Cook up the bacon halves, about 3/4 the way, just until it's slightly cooked and a little pink. Place on paper towels to drain grease.
3. DO NOT throw out the bacon fat in the pan... saute the onion and pepper in it, until tender. 5 minutes.
4. While the veggies cook, make the sauce- whisk the BBQ sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and mustard in a bowl and set aside.
5. Open all of the beans (Undrained) and add to the saute pan. Now, add the sauce mixture and stir until combined.
6. Finally, spray a 9x13 pan, and pour the beans in the dish. Carefully, put the bacon strips on top. Bake for 2 hours, until they are thick and bubbly.

Enjoy!
