Kicked Up Baked Beans

Perfect side dish for BBQ's
Here's my approach to making something new. First I will Google what I want to make, because we know someone out there already has a recipe. As you know Google when you key in a word or phrase it will kick out about a billion search results. I will go through 5 or 6 recipes trying to figure out how to make something and what ingredients are needed. I am also thinking of what I like and don't like in a recipe.
This is what I did for my kicked up baked beans.
I found a few recipes I liked for the most part, then adjusted it to suit my taste buds.

Ingredients:
1 28oz can Bush's Original Baked Beans
1lb ground Beef
6 stips of bacon - diced
1/2 yellow onion - diced
1/2c your favorite BBQ sauce
Worchester Sauce
Dijon Mustard
Brown Sugar
Salt/Pepper

First I rendered some bacon in a very large pan til it looked like this:)
I always make a few strips extra because I know I will eat some.
Bacon cooked so add the onions and cook until translucent about 8min.

Here are the onions after about 8 minutes

Add ground beef and brown

YUMMY!

Add all of the other ingredients to the party and simmer about 20min.

This is what you end up with.
After I made this batch I realize some red bell pepper would be very tasty. IF you would like some bell pepper in yours add them with the onions

Made a Frito Boat with mine:)
