Triple “B” Baked Beans

Directions

1. 1.

   Cook beans according to the directions in the package. Set 5 cups of the cooked beans aside in a large mixing bowl when done cooking.

2. 2.

   In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook chopped bacon until bacon is done. Do not cook bacon until crispy, just cook it until it’s done and still soft.

3. 3.

   When bacon is soft, add chopped onion and bell pepper. Cook all together until the onions and bell pepper are soft.

4. 4.

   Remove from heat and pour the bacon and vegetable mixture into the bowl with the beans. Stir well to combine.

5. 5.

   Add BBQ sauce and bourbon and stir to combine.

6. 6.

   Pour bean mixture into a 9 x 13 baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Cover tightly with aluminum foil, and bake at 250 degrees F for up to 4 hours. (I know.....it takes a while!)

7. 7.

   Pour bean mixture into the Instant Pot and cook on high pressure for 50 minutes. Allow for natural release and enjoyment.
