Teresa's Notes:

WOW-- these beans full of flavor! I love how the sweet of the apple butter combines with the bacon for a sweet/smokey flavor but then you get the surprise BAM of the sriracha! This is the only way I'll make baked beans from now on! This recipe is a follow up to my Head-Over-Heels Apple Sriracha BBQ Sauce recipe also posted here on JAP. This sauce is SO versatile!

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Dice 4 strips of bacon and add to a frying pan on medium heat. Let it cook for 1-2 minutes then add diced onion and diced green pepper. Cook until bacon is done and green pepper and onion are softened.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add undrained baked beans, and drained and rinsed pinto and great northern beans. Add ingredients for sauce and cooked bacon mixture. Stir well. Pour into 9x13 baking dish. Cover with remaining strips of bacon.
