Jack's Peach BBQ Beans

Ingredients

• 8 strips bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
• 1 large yellow onion, chopped
• 1 (#10 can, about 6 pounds and 10 ounces) baked beans (recommended: Bush's)
• 3 cups canned peach pie filling
• 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
• 2 tablespoons Jack's Old South BBQ Rub, recipe follows

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring, until somewhat crispy and its fat has rendered. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, leaving the fat in the skillet.

Add the pepper and onion to the skillet and cook, stirring, until softened, about 6 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a large baking pan.

Add the bacon, beans, pie filling, barbecue sauce, and rub to the pan. Mix to combine and bake, uncovered, until hot and bubbly, about 1 hour.
