Baked beans

I love to make this recipe when i have left over roast or steak. I use the crock pot method.

• 1 (15 ounce) can pork and beans
• 1 (15 ounce) can pink beans, rinsed, drained (I substitute pinto beans when I can’t find pink beans)
• 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed, drained
• 1/2 lb bacon
• 16 ounces ham, cubed (optional)
• 1 large green pepper, chopped you can also use the red and yellow ones..makes it prettier
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 jalapeno pepper ( i do not like them to hot so i only use 1/4 to 1/2 jalapeno)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup barbecue sauce ( i use 1/4 gates BBQ sauce and 1/4 cup Sweet baby Rays BBQ sauce)
• 2 garlic cloves, minced

Directions

1. Cook and chop bacon.
2. Combine all ingredients in a large Dutch oven (or crockpot if using that). Mix well.
3. Simmer on the stove, over a camp fire, in the oven (at 350), in the crockpot, or on the grill (medium heat) until the vegetables are soft (at least an hour).
4. You should stir often (unless you’re cooking in the oven or crockpot), to prevent sticking on the bottom of the Dutch oven. Stir lightly, you don’t want to mash the beans.
