Baked Beans with a Bang By Karen's Kreative Cooking

Baked Beans with a BANG

8 slices bacon (diced small)
1/2 yellow onion (diced)
2 cloves garlic (diced)
1/2 jalapeño (diced) no ribs or seeds unless you want them
2 cans pork and beans (16 oz)
1/2 Cup ketchup
1/4 Cup brown sugar packed
1 tsp mustard
1 tsp Worcestershire
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp season salt
1/4 to 1/2 tsp cayenne

Put diced bacon in small skillet and cook until cooked soft.
Add onion and jalapeño to bacon grease. Right before they are done add garlic. Let cook a couple of minutes. I drained most of the grease off.

Spray 9 X 13 rectangular cake pan with Pam. Empty pork and beans with juice. Add cooked bacon pieces. Add onion, jalapeño, and garlic.

Add all spices and mix well.

Cook uncovered (350 F)for 45 minutes.
Stir and cook about 15 more minutes.

They will still be juicy.

I didn't have bell pepper but if I had I would have used 1/2 a bell pepper and treated it like the onion.
Also really great with 1/2 to 1 pound of ground beef. High quality 90/10.

Perfect side dish to some grilled pork chops or chicken.
