Baked Beans

 6 slices bacon, halved
1 1/2 cups white onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped 
**1 jalapeno, minced, if you want some extra spice**
4 (14 oz) cans pork and beans
3/4 cup barbecue sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
3-4 Tbsp white vinegar (I use less due to family preferences)
2 tsp dry mustard

Preheat oven to 325.  Fry bacon in large skillet until bacon has very slightly partially cooked and released 3-4Tbsp drippings.  DO NOT FULLY COOK OR IT WILL BURN IN OVEN LATER.  Remove baocn from pan and place on paper towel lined plate.  Add onion and pepper(s) to bacon drippings and saute until tender, about 5-7 minutes.  Add beans and remaining ingredients to the pan; bring to a simmer.  Pour flavored beans into a greased 13x9 pan.  Top with bacon slices, then bake until beans are bubbly and sauce is consistency of pancake syrup, about 2 hours.  Let stand to thicken slightly before serving.
