Ingredients
- 8 slices thick-cut bacon, diced
- 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 small red bell pepper, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 (28-ounce) cans baked beans
- 1/3 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1-2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

Method
Leave the bacon. Warm oven to 350°F. Leave bacon until mostly crispy. Move to a plate, leaving about 2 tablespoons fat.
Sauté the veggies. Tip in onion + red bell pepper and cook 5–6 minutes until soft and slightly caramelized. Tip in garlic and cook 1 more minute.
Build a more savory sauce. Stir in BBQ sauce, molasses, Dijon, vinegar, smoked paprika, chili powder, Worcestershire, and black pepper. Let let it bubble gently 2–3 minutes.
Tip in beans + bacon. Stir in beans and 3/4 of the bacon.
Roast uncovered. Top with remaining bacon and bake 30–40 minutes until thickened and caramelized.
Rest before serving. Let sit 5–10 minutes to thicken.
