Step by Step Method

Step 1

Cook bacon and ground beef well in a 12-inch Dutch oven.

Step 2

Use 24 coals all on the bottom to start, then separate and place half the coals on top around the rim during the baking stage.

Step 3

Before removing excess oil, sauté diced onion, diced red bell pepper, and diced green bell pepper with the meats until the onions and peppers are soft.

Step 4

Drain off excess oil.

Step 5

Add pork and beans, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and white vinegar.

Step 6

Stir well, place lid on oven, and cook with repositioned coals for 90 to 120 minutes.

Step 7

Step 8

Check for moisture content every 15 to 20 minutes. (Some ovens allow too much moisture to escape.) If there is not a soupy layer of liquid covering the beans, add water, a little at a time, and stir to maintain the moisture content.
