Notes

You can leave off the bacon if you would like. The same goes for the ground beef.
The sauce creates like a homemade bbq sauce, so you get a slight sweetness with a lot of savory.
I have used mini sweet peppers in replace of bell peppers and it was really delicious as well.
If you have leftovers store the beans in the fridge for 3-4 days. Or you can freeze any leftover beans in the freezer for 2-3 months.
For this recipe it makes a larger pan, you can half the recipe if you don't want to make as much.
