How to make Bacon and Brown Sugar Baked Beans

Cook the bacon halfway through in any way you prefer to prepare it.

Heat bacon grease in a deep skillet or a dutch oven on the stove over medium to high heat.

Add in the sweet onion and green bell pepper. Cook until tender, about five minutes.

Once you saute the onion and pepper add in the remaining ingredients excluding the maple bacon.

Mix everything together thoroughly and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes.
