Ingredients
- 8-10 lices Bacon cut into bite sized pieces
- 1 yellow onion diced finely
- 2-4 jalapeno pepper adjust amount to your desired heat level, seeds removed and diced finely
- 54 oz pork and beans or equivalent amount of smaller cans, canned
- 4 Tbsp ketchup
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tsp mustard powder dry
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (feel free to adjust amount to desired heat level)
- black pepper pinch
- parsley for garnish, fresh, minced
- jalapeno pepper for garnish, additional, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven o 325 degrees F and adjust oven rack to the lower-middle position. Spray a 13x9 baking dish with non-stick spray and set aside.
- To a large, deep skillet, heat bacon pieces over MED heat until cooked about halfway through. Remove to a paper towel lined plate, leaving grease in the skillet.
- To same skillet with the bacon grease, add onion and jalapeño and saute about 5 minutes, until softened.
- Add all remaining ingredients and stir to combine well. Let mixture cook for a minute or so to combine the flavors.
- Carefully pour beans into prepared baking dish and lay cooked bacon pieces on top of the beans.
- Bake 2-3 hours, until bubbly and thickened to your liking. I prefer my beans fairly thick, so mine usually take 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
- Let beans stand 5 minutes or so before serving.
- If desired, garnish with parsley and/or jalapeño slices.
Notes
- To increase heat level:
- To decrease heat level:
- add more jalapeño peppers
- leave seeds in the peppers
- add more cayenne
- use less jalapeño peppers
- decrease or omit cayenne
- use green bell peppers instead of jalapeños (1 small bell pepper should suffice)
