Ingredients
2 packages bacon - cut into 1" pieces - those are 12 oz pckgs - when did bacon stop coming in 1 lb?
5 cloves garlic - minced fine
2 onions - chopped
2 jalapenos - fine minced
16 oz BBQ sauce - I use Sweet Baby Ray’s
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1cup brown sugar
Black pepper
5 cans beans - I used 4-28oz Van Camp’s and 1-30 Sun Vista Black Beans
Preparation
I use a Dutch Oven for this. Cook bacon down one pack at a time until crisp. Drain grease as needed. Set crisp bacon aside. In bacon grease sweat (do not brown) onion, garlic and jalapeno until soft Add apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, bacon, black pepper and bbq sauce Let slow simmer for 10 mins While this is simmering put all the beans in a crock pot . Transfer sauce to crock pot and set to high for 1 hour. After that you can hold on warm for as long as needed.
