Directions

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, add the bacon and canola oil, turn the heat to medium-high and cook the bacon until it starts to crisp, 4 to 5 minutes.

Add the red onions and green pepper, season with salt and pepper and saute over medium-high heat until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes. Add the beans, barbeque sauce, maple syrup, vinegar and mustard. Bring to a simmer, cover, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook the beans, about 45 minutes. Remove the lid and cook uncovered until the sauce has reduced and thickened and the flavors have developed, about 15 minutes. Just before serving, adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.

    Very simple and very tasty. I wasn't sure what "Carolina-style barbecue sauce" meant so I used Jack Daniel's Original No 7.

    This is a fantastic recipe; the ONLY adjustment I made to it was to add two cloves of chopped garlic to the veggies a minute or two before the beans and rest of the ingredients were added. It's a delicious dish, easy to prepare, has that nice Carolina-style BBQ "tang" to it, and got rave reviews from everyone who ate it. We made it as part of our game-day grub (Go Buckeyes!
