1 yellow onion finely diced
1/2 green bell pepper finely diced
54 oz can pork and beans or 4 (15.5oz each) cans
4 Tbsp ketchup
1/4 cup molasses
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup cider vinegar

-While the mixture is simmering, grease a 13×9 baking dish, or other 3 quart dish or pot.
-Pour beans into the prepared baking dish and lay cooked bacon on top of the beans.
-Bake for 2-3 hours, depending on your desired consistency.
-Let the beans stand for 5 minutes before serving.
