BBQ Chicken Dinner/Brown Sugar and Bacon Baked Beans

Ingredients

8 bacon slices, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 yellow onion, finely diced
1 jalapeño pepper, ribs and seeds removed, finely diced
2, 28 ounce cans baked beans
1/4 cup molasses
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Steps

Preheat oven to 325 degrees, and set rack to the middle rack position.
Cook bacon in a large cast-iron skillet until cooked halfway through, about 5 minutes. Transfer the partially cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate.
To the remaining bacon fat in the skillet, add diced onion and jalapeño, and sauté about 5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the baked beans, molasses, brown sugar and apple cider vinegar. Place the partially cooked bacon pieces on top of the bean mixture and bake for 1 hour, until bacon is crisp and the beans are bubbling and fragrant. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
