BACON LOVERS MEATY BAKED BEANS
We love the flavor of the smoked thick sliced Country Bacon that I get from Arkansas when ever I visit there, so I wanted to make my baked beans during this past holiday using it in a recipe, & this is the recipe I came up with. Lots of meat for my meat loving husband, & smoke flavor for that outdoor smoked grill taste. I made enough so I could give one pan to my neighbor, as it made 2 pans of 9X12 Each. After simmering on the stove top, I then baked them in the oven for an hour & 15 minutes, they were so thick & rich in flavor, & we enjoyed ours, & the neighbors loved theirs too.

Steps:
- Chop bell Pepper and onions by hand or in food processor, into medium size pieces.
- Using a large skillet or pot add the ground beef and cook over medium high heat until the ground beef is cooked and no pink remains. Add in the peppers and onions mixture about half way through & cook with beef. Drain any excess fat and liquid.
- Cook the thick slice bacon until crisp tender. Then chop or cut into bite size pieces.
- Repeat with the maple flavored bacon, and set aside till needed.
- Return Ground beef to large pot, add in the drained tomatoes, mustard, apple cider vinegar, Ketchup,Molasses, Brown sugar, and stir to blend throughly, while continuing to cook over medium high heat, at least 20 to 25 minutes to allow all the flavors to blend together.
- Add in the liquid smoke and chopped thick sliced smoked Bacon, continue cooking and stirring to prevent mixture from sticking to bottom of pot. TASTE AND ADJUST FLAVORS AS NEEDED, if more is needed.
- Spray 2 9X12 size pans with cooking spray, then distribute beans evenly between the two pans. Top with the precook maple flavored bacon & then Place in preheated oven and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 1/2 hours. Beans should have a thick consistency and taste amazing.
