Ingredients

  • 8 slices bacon, halved
  • 1 onion, medium, cut into small dice
  • ½ green pepper, medium, cut into small dice
  • 3 28-ounce cans pork and beans
  • ¾ cup MUSSELMAN’S® Apple Butter
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

Directions

  1. Step 1
    Preheat oven to 325°F.

  2. Step 2
    In a Dutch oven (or large sauce pot) fry bacon until it has partially cooked and released about 1/4 cup drippings. Remove bacon and drain on paper towels.

  3. Step 3
    Add onions and peppers to drippings and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.

  4. Step 4
    Add canned beans, apple butter, brown sugar, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce, and bring to a simmer.

  5. Step 5
    Top with bacon, then bake until beans are bubbly and sauce is the consistency of pancake syrup, about 2 hours. (If using a large sauce pot, transfer beans to a 4-quart casserole dish to bake.)
