Serving8
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.
