So Easy Baked Beans

My mom used to make her baked beans in an earthenware crock in the oven on a low heat for hours.  They were unbelievably thick and rich!  I have come up with a quick way to replicate that flavor...

So Easy Baked Beans

3 or 4 slices bacon
1 small onion, roughly chopped

Hard to get a good pic of beans, but they taste amazing!

1 can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup mixed frozen peppers, thawed and chopped
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 TBSP honey
1/4 blackstrap molasses
6 oz can tomate paste
1/4 cup water

Preheat oven to 350F

Fry bacon on stove top in dutch oven (or oven safe pot) until browned and crispy.  Remove bacon and set aside.
Sauté onion in bacon grease until tender.
Roughly chop bacon and return to pot.
Add both cans of beans and peppers to the pot.
In a small bowl, mix together the apple cider vinegar, blackstrap molasses, honey, tomate paste and water.
Pour over bean mixture and stir to mix and coat well.

Cover tightly and bake for about one hour.
