📝 Ingredients
Ingredient | Amount |
---|---|
Canned pork and beans | 4 cans (15 oz each) |
Bacon (cooked, crumbled) | 1 package (about 8 oz) |
Green bell pepper | ½ pepper, finely diced |

👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Combine Everything
In a slow cooker, mix all ingredients except bacon. Stir well to blend the sweet, tangy, and smoky flavors.
2️⃣ Slow Cook to Perfection
Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours (or HIGH for 3 hours), stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the richer the taste!
3️⃣ Add the Bacon
Right before serving, fold in half the crumbled bacon for flavor, then sprinkle the rest on top for a crispy finish.
4️⃣ Serve & Savor
Pair with grilled meats, burgers, or cornbread. Tastes even better the next day!
