8 bacon, slices, halved

1 onion, medium, cut into small dice

½ green pepper, medium, cut into small dice

28 oz pork and beans, (3 large cans)

¾ cup barbecue sauce

½ cup brown sugar

¼ cup distilled vinegar, or cider vinegar

2 tsp dry mustard, or 2 tablespoons Dijon

Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 325 degrees.

Fry bacon in large, deep sauté pan skillet until bacon has partially cooked and released about ¼ cup drippings. Remove bacon from pan and drain on paper towels.

Add onions and peppers to drippings in pan and sauté until tender.

Add beans and remaining ingredients bring to a simmer. (If skillet is not large enough, add beans and heat to a simmer then transfer to a large bowl and stir in remaining ingredients).

Pour flavored beans into a greased 13x9-inch (or similar size) ovenproof pan. Top with bacon, then bake until beans are bubbly and sauce is the consistency of pancake syrup, for about 2 hours. Let stand to thicken slightly and serve.
