GRANDMA LUCY'S BAKED BEANS RECIPE

Steps:

• Open up your pork and beans, and drain off about 2/3 of the liquid. Don't use a strainer; you do want some liquid left. (I normally just place the lid that I just used a can opener to open back inside the can, tip the can over while holding down the metal "lid," and let it drain for about 10 seconds.)
• Add the partially drained beans to a large bowl.
• Chop the raw bacon up into small pieces. Place it in a hot skillet that has been heated over medium-high heat. Cook until well done and very crispy. Use a slotted spoon remove the cooked bacon, and place it on a paper towel-lined plate. Leave extra bacon grease in the skillet.
• Keep the skillet on the hot burner, and add the bell pepper and onion. Cook the vegetables in the bacon grease until tender, about 8 minutes.
• When the veggies are cooked, add them to the drained beans. Add the bacon.
• Add the brown sugar, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and yellow mustard. Stir to combine well.
• Add the bean mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover with foil and bake at 300 degrees F. for 3 hours.
