How to make Bacon and Baked Beans
Below are visual steps for making bacon and baked beans. See the recipe card for detailed instructions.
Prepare Bacon
First Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Cut the bacon into small pieces and place in a medium-sized skillet. Cook over medium heat until crispy.
Remove the bacon from the skillet, leaving the drippings, and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Sautee Vegetables
Add the diced onions and diced green peppers to the pan with the bacon drippings and saute over medium heat for about 10 minutes or until the onions are translucent and the green peppers have started softening.
Combine Ingredients
Pour the baked beans into a large mixing bowl. Then add in the cooked bacon, cooked onions and green peppers, brown sugar, ketchup, mustard, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce.
Bake
Stir gently until everything is well incorporated and mixed. Transfer the bean mixture evenly into a 9x13-inch baking pan. Cover with aluminum foil and bake covered for 50 minutes. Then, uncover and continue baking an additional 15-30 minutes until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.

Transfer to a serving bowl and enjoy immediately.
