This recipe uses canned beans which will allow you to make these beans in about an hour and a half as opposed to 8 hours or more. We use Bacon, white, Lima, and black beans in this recipe. You may use any beans that you like, as well as use either pulled pork or brisket.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large cast iron dutch oven add the chopped bacon and cook till almost crispy.
- Add the onions , garlic, and peppers and cook for several more minutes.
- Add all of the remaining ingredients and gently mix well. Taste to adjust seasoning.
- Bake at 350 for 1 hour.
- Alternatively you may place the dutch oven over hot coals in a covered grill and cook for 1 hour. This will give you a wonderful smoky flavor.
