Ingredients
Method
- In a large pan, add olive oil over medium-high heat then add in the diced smoky bacon, frequently stirring and cooking until crispy. Remove from pan and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve Bacon for later.
- Keep the bacon drippings and add in the diced onions, all of the peppers, and minced garlic, sautéeing until onions are translucent.
- Add the drained beans to the sautéed veggies, along with the BBQ sauce, brown sugar, mustard, salt, pepper, and liquid smoke, and half of the crispy bacon, mixing well.
- Turn the heat down to low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for at least 1 hour, but best if it can be simmered for 2 - 3 hours for incredible flavor.
- Garnish with the remaining crispy bacon at the end, serve and enjoy!

Notes
If you prefer more "heat", simply add 2 - 4 diced jalapeno peppers when sautéeing the veggies.
Can be made the day before, cover and refrigerate overnight, then gently warmed up about 30 minutes to 1 hour over medium-low heat just before you're ready to serve.
