Fpu graduation and baked beans

First off, I am so glad that we are back up and blogging! Since that time some of my friends and I have been taking the Financial Peace University class from
Dave Ramsey. While going through this, not only have we learned a lot about being responsible with our money, but we have shared some delicious meals. For the finale I made baked beans- here is that recipe!
It is somewhat inspired by a family recipe, but this is what I used when I made them on Monday.

Ingredients:

2 large cans of Bush's Baked Beans
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 red onion, chopped
1 whole package of bacon, cooked and crumbled
*that's right- whole package*
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon corn syrup
1 cap-full of maple extract
1 teaspoon jalepeno powder
5 cloves of garlic, crushed

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees

1. Fully cook the bacon and set aside. Once cool,crumble it up.

2. In the same pan, drain the fat, and cook the red peppers and onions until tender

3. Add the garlic and spices and cook for about 3 minutes

4. Add the beans (do not drain out the liquid)

5. Add the remaining ingredients, including the crumbled bacon.

6. Stir until everything is incorporated

7. Pour beans into a 9x13 pan and bake uncovered for an hour and a half.

8. Eat up! Yum yum!!
