Ingredients

10 slices bacon, diced *Note 1
½ cup white onion, diced
½ cup bell pepper, diced
1 jalapeno pepper, diced
55 oz Bush's baked beans
8 oz pineapple tidbits, drained (reserve the juice) *Note 2
1 cup ketchup
½ cup brown sugar
2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
½ tbsp kosher salt
1 tsp ground mustard
1 tsp chili powder
½ tsp garlic powder

Instructions

Pre-heat the smoker to 225°F and load with your wood or pellet of choice.
Pre-heat a cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Add the diced bacon and saute until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate using a slotted spoon.
Add the onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno to the skillet and cook until softened, approx. 4-5 minutes. Turn off the heat.
If using the cast iron skillet - add the rest of the ingredients and stir to combine.
If using a disposable pan - transfer the bacon, pepper/onion mix and the rest of the ingredients to the pan and stir to combine.
Transfer the skillet/disposable pan to the smoker and smoked for a minimum of one hour, up to three hours.

Notes

Note 1 - For extra crispy bacon, add the bacon to the top, right before serving.

Note 2 - Set aside the pineapple juice to thin out the baked beans, if desired.
