Recipe - Dannys Beans

See instr

Drain 2 cans of B&M, or Bush's "baked beans" (Campbell's pork & beans will
work in a pinch). Drain 75% or more of liquid from beans and discard (the
liquid, not the beans). Pour beans into baking dish (no lid required). In a
skillet, fry 4 thick slices of HICKORY smoked bacon well done, pat dry, and
place in freezer so that it becomes brittle while preparing other
ingredients. Now fry 4 more slices of bacon until medium done, and set
aside.

Drain all but 2 or 3 tablespoons of bacon grease out of skillet and save
for other recipes. Sauté 1 small onion, 1 small green, and 1 small red (if
available) bell pepper for 3 or 4 minutes in hot bacon grease. Pour sautéed
onions, peppers, and bacon grease into beans. In a cup, mix 2 tablespoons
of yellow mustard, 4 or 5 tablespoons of your favorite BBQ sauce, 3
tablespoons of dark brown sugar, or 5 tablespoons of molasses, and pour
into beans. Crumble or dice the cold bacon with a good chef's knife, and
stir into beans. Place mediumdone bacon slices on top of the beans and
bake in oven at 350F for about 45 minutes, or in your pit until thick and
rich. Hope you guys like this as well as we do.
