Southern Baked Beans

I had some friends over to eat last night, and I made these Southern Baked Beans as a side dish to go with Baby Back Ribs. There are several good ways to make baked beans, but this recipe is simple and uses canned beans. I made these in the crock pot because I knew my oven would be in use most of the day with the ribs, but these beans are equally as good made in the oven too.

Southern Baked Beans
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 onion, diced
1/3 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon dry mustard
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
3 (16 ounce) cans pork and beans
4 slices bacon, cooked and cut into pieces

In a medium skillet, saute the onion and green pepper in the olive oil until tender; set aside. In a small bowl, mix together the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, dry mustard, and vinegar. Pour beans into crock pot, add onions and peppers, then stir in barbecue sauce mixture and bacon. Cook on LOW for about 8 hours.

Oven directions: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Pour ingredients into a 9 x 13-inch baking dish that has been prepared with cooking spray. Cook bacon only about half way done in advance, and top the beans with the bacon pieces. Bake for about 2 hours or until sauce has thickened.

Add the onions and peppers to the crock pot with the pork and beans.

Mix the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, dry mustard, and vinegar together.

Mix all ingredients in the crock pot, add the cover, and cook on LOW for about 8 hours.

I forgot to get a picture last night after all the food was ready, so this is a photo of the Southern Baked Beans as leftovers. They're still delicious today!
