Ingredients

- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp garlic powder
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 5 cans baked beans any variety

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a heavy casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large pan sauté onions and jalapeños in olive oil until fragrant.
- Place beans in the casserole dish. Add sautéd onion and jalapeño, brown sugar, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, ketchup, pepper, and molasses. Stir until well combined.
- Line the (bite-sized) bacon pieces over the entire bean mixture. "Pinch" the bacon to form a tent shape so that more will fit into the dish.
