If The Teaching Thing Doesn't Work Out...

...I'm opening a restaurant.  The only thing on the menu?  These baked beans:

Ashley's Baked Beans

1 large can (28 oz.) Pork and Beans--substitute baked beans
1 lb. bacon
2 Tablespoons mustard
3 palms brown sugar, extra is okay and makes them even more delicious (we're super intense about precise measurements around these parts)
5 Tablespoons ketchup
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce--substitute A-1 steak sauce
pepper to taste
1 green pepper--red, yellow or orange are also fine
1 white onion

Cut bacon into large bite sized pieces and fry.  (Best to make them a bit crispy but not burnt)  Cut up onion and pepper into large bit sized pieces.  Pour off most of the bacon grease and set bacon pieces aside.  Add onion and green pepper to pan, brown.  Combine all ingredients in bowl.  Bake 30-45 minutes in 9x13 pan at 350 degrees.

Bigger is better with this recipe.
You really do want them this crispy.  They get a bit soggier when they bake.

I think the more onion and pepper you add the better.
Big chunks are best
It will look so much better once it's stirred.
They look a lot prettier when you use a red and a green but red is what I had.
 And that's it.  They're simple. 

And trust me.  These are pretty darn delicious.
