Meat Lovers Skillet Baked Beans

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

In a large oven-proof skillet, cook bacon halfway through. It should be soft but starting to crisp. Remove to paper-towel-lined plate. Set aside.

Pour bacon grease off the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon grease in the bottom of the skillet. Over medium high heat, cook onions until soft. Add garlic. Cook for 1 minute.

Add ground beef and sausage to the pan with the onions and cook until browned. Drain any grease as desired. Remove skillet from heat.

Add beans, brown sugar, molasses, banana peppers, brine, vinegar, ketchup and BBQ sauce to the skillet. Stir to combine. Place bacon slices on top of the beans and meat mixture in an even layer.

Bake for 45 minutes, or until beans are bubbly and bacon is crisp.
