Instructions:
-
In a saucepan, fry the bacon until crispy and golden brown, then set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
-
In the same saucepan with the remaining bacon fat, add diced red and green bell peppers, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables are soft and translucent, releasing their delicious flavors.
-
Once the vegetables are cooked, add in the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and yellow mustard, stirring well to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
-
Next, stir in the dark brown sugar, ensuring it is fully incorporated into the sauce. Continue to simmer the mixture, stirring often, until it thickens slightly and becomes rich and flavorful.
-
Meanwhile, rinse the canned pork and beans under cold water to remove the excess sauce. Discard the canned sauce as it is not real food, and we want to focus on using wholesome ingredients in our recipe.
-
Add the rinsed pork and beans to the saucepan with the flavorful sauce, stirring gently to coat the beans evenly. Allow the mixture to simmer until it is hot and bubbly, ensuring all the ingredients are heated through.
-
Finally, season the baked beans with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed to suit your personal preferences. Serve hot and enjoy these delicious baked beans as a hearty side dish or a satisfying main course.
