Here is a bonus post for you today. I made a dish of my family's favorite baked beans for the holiday tomorrow and decided to snap a picture and share them with you. I think every backyard barbecue tomorrow will have a version of baked beans. I'm pretty sure it is the law!
8 slices bacon, sliced across and cut into 1 inch pieces
1 large onion, chopped
1/4 cup green pepper, chopped (I don't use, my family would revolt!)
1 large can (28 ounces) Pork and Beans, undrained, we prefer Bush's Bean's
1 can (15 ounce) pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (15 ounce) Great Northern Beans (or black beans, butter beans, kidney; whatever you prefer
1 cup barbecue sauce
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup medium or hot picante sauce (trust me, it makes them!)
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
In a large skillet over medium heat, saute the bacon until almost cooked, but not too crisp. Remove from the skillet with a slotted spoon and place in a large bowl. Drain all but about 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease from the skillet and add the onion and green pepper, if using. Saute for a few minutes to soften. Add to the large bowl with the bacon.
Into the large bowl add the undrained pork and beans, the 2 cans of rinsed and drained beans and the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
Pour into a 9 x 13 inch dish. Bake covered at 325 degrees for 45 minutes. Uncover and continue baking for 20-25 more minutes.
Enjoy and Happy Independence Day!

Cooks Notes: Sometime I will add a Chipotle Chile with a little of the adobo sauce that has been finely diced. You know I can't get enough of those! It is also delicious to turn them into "cowboy" beans (what Nanny called them) and add cooked ground beef or sausage.
