One of my favorite things to do on Saturday mornings is watch Food Network. My favorites are the Pioneer Woman, Ina Garten, Trisha Yearwood, and sometimes Giada (only when her boobs aren't showing). I love to try recipes from either 4 of them and this recipe was on the Pioneer Woman. I recently went to Rib Fest and had these fabulous baked beans and I don't really have a recipe for beans at all that I like.
I saw her make these and decided to give them a try and they turned out really good. Not like the ones I had at Rib Fest, but since they had bacon in them that made them twice as good. I had these with some pork tenderloin wrapped in bacon. I was going to take a picture of the bacon wrapped pork tenderloin for another post, but sadly the bacon fell off the pork tenderloin.

Ingredients Needed
- Pinto beans - are a convenient and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. They are a great source of protein and fiber and can be added to salads, soups, stews, and even dips.
- Thick-cut bacon, cut into pieces
- Green bell peppers, diced
- Onion, diced
- Brown sugar - Is made by combining granulated white sugar with molasses, which gives it a brown color and a slightly different taste than regular white sugar.
- Ketchup is a popular condiment that is enjoyed worldwide. It is typically made from tomatoes, vinegar, sugar, and a blend of spices.
- Mustard - yellow mustard or dijon mustard
- Chili powder, optional - Is a blend of mixed red chilis that have been dried up and pulverized until it resembles powder. Sometimes other spices like cumin and paprika.
- Salt and Black pepper, more to taste
- Garlic, minced - Chopped fresh garlic can take some time to chop so I often always use the freshly minced garlic that comes already made in a jar.Â

How to Make Cowboy Bacon Beans
Rinse the beans under cold water, sorting out any rocks/particles. Set aside. In a heavy pot (cast iron), saute the bacon pieces until halfway cooked and the fat is rendered. Add the green peppers and onions to the pot and cook until starting to get brown, about 3 minutes.
Add the beans and cover with water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, and then add the brown sugar, ketchup, mustard, chili powder, salt, pepper and garlic. Reduce the heat to a simmer, place on the lid and cook until the beans are tender and the liquid is thick 3 to 4 hours.
Serving Size: 1 cup
