Ingredients

12-14 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 Tablespoon Maple Syrup
2 (28 ounce) cans pork and beans
⅓ cup rootbeer
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup molasses
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 jalapeno peppers sliced

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray a 9 x 9 inch baking pan (or 9 x 13 inch pan) with non stick cooking spray.
Cook bacon over the stove until desired doneness (I like mine crunchy, but I usually do it a little underdone, because it bakes in the oven as well).
After the bacon is cooked, crumble it up into a bowl and add black pepper and maple syrup. Toss until well combined.
In a larger bowl, combine the baked beans, root beer, brown sugar, molasses and cayenne pepper.
Add in half of the bacon crumbles.
Pour the mixture into the sprayed pan. Sprinkle the rest of the bacon on top, as well as the jalapeños if desired.
Bake for 25 minutes, or until the center is heated through, and the edges begin to bubble.
Remove from oven and eat warm.
