How to Make Barbecued Beans
- Cut 1/2 pound of bacon into 1-inch pieces.
- Cook bacon in a medium saucepan over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, until slightly browned.
- Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 1 bell pepper, chopped, to the saucepan. Cook until the bacon is crisp and the onion is tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/2 cup water, 2 tablespoons yellow mustard, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Pour the ketchup mixture into the saucepan with the bacon, onion, and bell pepper.
- Stir in 2 (15-ounce) cans of baked beans. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low.
- Simmer, covered, for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly thickened.
- Stir in 1/4 cup brown sugar before serving (optional).
