Ingredients

4 cans of pinto beans in water (drained)
400g of our smoked streaky bacon (diced)
1 green bell pepper (diced)

150g brown sugar
1 onion (diced)
55g Tomato ketchup
2 tbsp yellow mustard
2 tbsp sea salt
2 tbsp black pepper
3 garlic cloves (minced)

Method

  1. Add diced bacon to a large cooking pot and sauté bacon until fat has rendered. Now add diced pepper, onion and continue to saute until bacon is starting to turn brown.
  2. Once bacon is brown and peppers and onion are soft, add pinto beans and cover with water (about 1-2cm above).
