ingredients

1 pound bacon
1 can (15 ounce size) pineapple tidbits
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 large green bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 large onion, diced
2 cans (40 ounce size) pork and beans, drained
1 bottle (14 ounce size) ketchup

directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, turning as needed, until the fat has rendered and the bacon is starting to crisp up. Remove the bacon and place on paper toweling to drain. When cool, crumble and set aside.

Discard all but 1-2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings.

Add the pineapple, brown sugar, green pepper, and onion to the skillet. Cook over medium heat until the onions and green pepper are soft.

Combine the pineapple mixture, drained beans, bacon, and ketchup. Mix well and place in a 3-quart baking dish. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and place in the oven. Bake at 325 degrees F for 20 minutes or until bubbly.

Serve hot.
