Baked Beans

I realized I never posted how I make baked beans. This is based on a recipe from one of my friends.

Bush's Baked Beans
minced onion
minced green pepper
molasses
splash of maple syrup
brown sugar
black pepper
garlic powder
dijon mustard (maybe 1 teaspoon)
instant coffee granules or 2 tablespoons coffee
You could also add some liquid smoke & minced jalapeno!

Mix everything together, top with bacon cut into pieces. Bake for awhile until thick and sticky!

Instant coffee granules are my dad's secret ingredient. In Vietnam, a "grunt" (infantrymen) told him to add the instant coffee to the canned baked beans and it would make them taste better. And it did!
