Ingredients:

2 large cans of baked beans ( or 4 small cans) *generic baked beans and flavored ones are ok too
1 medium onion (diced)
1/2 cup brown sugar
4 oz. grey poupon ( or french's dijon mustard)
20 pieces of sliced jalapeno's ( diced )
8 oz of BBQ sauce ( 1/2 bottle?) ( any flavor you like)
2 tbsp butter or margarine

optional:
  1/2 package of bacon OR 3 slices of deli ham (chopped)
1/4 cup maple/pancake syrup

Cooking Directions:

preheat oven to 200 degrees or Crock pot on Low

Heat frying pan or skillet over medium heat
add 2 table spoons of butter until melted
Add diced onions, and optional chopped bacon ( or ham)
let simmer for 5-8 minutes, stirring every minute.
stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons brown sugar
cook additional 3-4 minutes
remove from heat and let rest

Using a large casserole, or Crockpot, add all portions of baked beans

separately, add the following ingredients, mixing after each:

frying pan contents, mix thoroughly
diced Jalapeno's
remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar
dijon mustard
BBQ sauce
*stir in optional maple syrup

Cook for 3 hours
stir thoroughly every 30 minutes

FOR DUTCH OVEN USE,  use an optional liner and configure charcoal accordingly
if you heat it up too fast or go too hot of a temp, then the beans and sauce will burn.
