When I was a little girl, one of my favorite places to visit was my Aunt Evelyn’s and Uncle OC’s home.
So many wonderful memories there!
This is one of my favorite dishes that she cooked –minus the bourbon, of course!–
Sorry, Aunt Evelyn, but it give the beans a deliciously sweet kick!
In your frying pan, brown the ground beef, onion and green pepper…
Drain and set aside…
In your baking dish, pour in the baked beans…
Add the brown sugar…
the bourbon…
Stir in the ground beef mixture…
Add the chopped bacon on top…
Cover and bake on 350 degrees for 45 minutes…then uncover and bake an additional 15 minutes…
Enjoy!!
