TEXAS-STYLE BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving 2 tablespoons of the drippings in skillet; reserve remaining drippings for another use. Increase heat to medium-high. Add onion, bell pepper, jalapeños, and garlic; cook, stirring often, until tender, about 6 minutes.
• Add beer, and bring to a simmer over medium-high. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Stir in beans, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, and salt. Bring mixture to a simmer over medium-high. Remove from heat, and transfer mixture to a 2-quart baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in preheated oven 20 minutes. Remove foil, and continue to bake until bubbling around edges and hot, 15 to 20 minutes more. Top with cooked bacon crumbles.
