BBQ Baked Beans

My favorite Kansas City Barbeque is "Bates City BBQ", and these beans are my own copy cat version of their baked beans! The sauce is sweet with a spicy kick, and the green pepper flavor is infused throughout. These baked beans are STUPENDOUS! I eat these beans as a meal they are so good! But that's just me... some people consider beans the "poor man's meat" but I like to think of it as the "healthy man's meat"! So, I made these beans with some delicious macaroni salad for dinner, yummm-o!

Ingredients
1 green pepper, chopped
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup ketchup
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 (16 ounce) red beans, undrained
2 (16 ounce) cans navy beans, drained


Directions
In a large bowl, stir all the ingredients together (stir the beans in last). Pour into a 2-3 quart casserole dish and bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours. After an hour I stirred the beans and put them back in for another 1/2 hour (the beans will be hot and bubbly after an hour but you'll want to cook them for another 1/2 hour so the liquid reduces).
