BBQ Baked Beans

This is enough for a crowd - about 18 servings

1/2 lb thick cut bacon chopped in 1/2" pieces
1 small onion chopped
1/2 green pepper chopped
3/4 c bbq sauce
1/4 c apple cider or white vinegar
1 tsp dry mustard or 2 tsp yellow or dijon mustard
1/2 tsp liquid smoke (leave it out if you don't have it)
1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce (once again - not essential)
1/2 c brown sugar
3-28 oz cans pork and beans (I like Bush brand)

Brown the bacon in a skillet until the fat is rendered. Remove from pan and drain all but about 2 T bacon grease. Add the chopped onion and green pepper to skillet and cook until softened. Mix all ingredients together in a large baking dish or the crockpot. Bake at 325 for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours depending on how thick you like them. You can also do this in the crockpot on low for 4 hours or high for about 1 1/2 or 2 hours.
