Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat and add the diced bacon. Cook until it’s brown and crisp and most of the fat is rendered.

Stit in the onion, pepper, and garlic. Cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes until everything softens. Stir in paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes.

Stir in the vinegar, BBQ sauce, ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar until combined.

Stir in the baked beans directly from the can. Bring the mixture to a boil, then turn off the heat. Lay the remaining strips of bacon on top of the beans.

Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until bubbly and syrup. Remove and let cool slightly before serving.

Serve and enjoy.
