Recipes Baked Three-Bean Casserole with Crispy Bacon 5.0 (2,768) Add your rating & review By doctoring three different types and sizes of canned beans with barbecue sauce and bacon, Perry Lang creates an outrageously good version of baked beans.

Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the garlic, green pepper, onion, ginger and 1 teaspoon of salt and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 8 minutes. Add the diluted Sweet and Sticky Barbecue Sauce and all of the beans and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer the beans to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and arrange the bacon strips on top. Bake the beans for 45 minutes, or until bubbling and the bacon is crisp. Let cool for 15 minutes before serving.
