I got this recipe from my friend, Carrie S. She made it on a Sunday School retreat, and it was a huge hit. We also made it on a high school mission trip with her, and everyone gobbled them up. The original recipe feeds a crowd, so I have scaled down the recipe here to feed my family.
Makes 8-10 servings
Ingredients:
*3 normal sized cans pork and beans (from 40-55 ounces total)
*5 slices bacon, sliced
*1/2 of a white onion, chopped
*1/2 of a green bell pepper, chopped
*1/2 cup ketchup
*1/2 cup brown sugar
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325. In a medium bowl, combine beans, ketchup, and brown sugar. Place in a baking dish.
Add the onion and bell pepper on top. Add the bacon on top of the onion and bell pepper.
Cover and bake on 325 for 2 hours or until the bacon and veggies are cooked. Spoon off the bacon before serving.*
*Note: For our family, I cook this on 350 F instead of 325 F so that the bacon gets crispy, and I do not have to spoon it off at the end.
