Servings: persons

4 ounces sliced bacon, cut into 1/2-inch strips
1 cup finely diced yellow onion (about 1 medium onion)
2 tablespoons finely diced green bell pepper
1 tablespoon finely diced seeded jalapeno (about 1 small pepper)
1 teaspoon finely minced garlic (about 1 medium clove)
1 cup ketchup
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup apple juice
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons molasses
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 (19-ounce) can pork and beans
1 (15.5-ounce) can butter beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15.5-ounce) can great northern beans, drained and rinsed
Kosher salt, to taste

1
Preheat oven to 300u00b0F. Place a 12-inch skillet or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add bacon and cook until fat has rendered and bacon has crisped, 7-10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving as much fat in the pan as possible.
2
Add onion to pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion softens and begins to brown around the edges, about 7 minutes. Stir in green pepper, jalapeno, and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in ketchup, brown sugar, apple juice, honey, molasses, vinegar, barbecue rub, mustard, hot sauce, and reserved bacon; bring to a simmer. Gently fold in pork and beans, butter beans, and great northern beans.
3
Transfer beans to oven and cook, uncovered, until beans are heated through and sauce has thickened, about 50 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 15 minutes. Season with salt. Serve immediately; alternatively, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze. Reheat before serving.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
