For this recipe you’ll need:
Heat a heavy pot over medium-low heat and add the bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until just crisp.
Increase the heat to medium and add the onions and peppers, and sauté until lightly caramelized, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook an additional minute.
Stir in the beans, molasses, barbecue sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, mustard powder and cider vinegar. Simmer the beans uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve hot.
