Savory baked beans (J. Schofield)

Savory baked beans (Joan Schofield)

2 (1 pound 13 oz.) cans of pork and beans
1 pound lean bacon, cut in pieces (raw) (see note)
1 medium onion cut in chunks
2 large green peppers cut in chunks
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 cup ketchup
1 cup brown sugar

Combine all ingredients and put in 2 medium-sized or 1 extra large casserole dish.* 

Bake, covered at 325 degrees for 3 hours, stirring occasionally.  Uncover last 30 minutes.

Note:  You can use less bacon but a full pound makes these beans unforgettable.  I have never shared this without someone asking for the recipe.

*(Mom cooks her in the a corning-ware pan in the oven.   Mom made these for Eric's birthday and he loved them!  I need to remember to use this recipe instead of Grandma Lee's.)
