Bacon pineapple jalepeno baked beans

Ingredients:

8 ounces sliced bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup sweet red bell pepper
4 cans (16 ounces each) beans(white, pinto, black, kidney)
1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple, undrained
1 or 2 diced jalepeno peppers
1/4 cup chili sauce
2 tablespoons molasses
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:

Combine all ingredients in a 3-quart Dutch oven.
Cover and cook over medium low heat for at least 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Serves 12.

If you have a smoker you can(should) do this:

Place the beans in an aluminum disposable pan and place them in the smoker right under the meat that is being smoked so the drippings fall into the beans. That puts them over the top!

Thanks to http://noexcusesbbq.com/ for the idea.
