5 from 1 vote

8-12 slices of bacon, chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded and finely chopped
2 540mL cans red kidney beans, drained and rinsed.
½ cup barbecue sauce
½ cup maple syrup
½ cup ketchup
2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
2 Tbsp soy sauce
4 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
4 Tbsp brown sugar
1/2 cup water - optional - It depends on how thin you like the sauce. I like mine thick, so I don't add any water. Add more if you like it thin.

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large skillet, fry bacon until almost cooked. Remove to a small bowl. Drain fay leaving ¼ cup in pan.
Add onions and sauté until softened. Bring bacon back to pan and stir in all other ingredients. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Pour into prepared pan and bake for one hour. Remove from oven and stir. Serve as a main dish or great side to ham.
