Baked Beans With Bacon 

Enhance your canned baked beans with a healthy dose of bacon, bbq sauce, and hot sauce. I have used all kinds of beans, great northern and navy beans are my favorites for this recipe. The bbq sauce that I prefer is a sweet honey or smoked hickory.

1 to 2 pounds bacon, fried crisp and drained
1 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 cup brown sugar
3 roma tomatoes, chopped
1 cup barbeque sauce (your choice)
1 large onion, diced
1 green pepper, chopped
Garlic powder, to taste
1/2 ounce liquid smoke (optional, but nice)
Hot sauce, if desired to taste

2. Combine all ingredients in mixing bowl and pour into large Dutch oven or roasting pan.
