Ingredients
2 cups diced yellow, red and green bell peppers.
1 cup diced onions
4 28 oz cans of your favorite Bush's Baked Beans. I use Original, Country Style, something with Honey, and maybe one with pork.
1/2 bottle, about 9 ozs, of Sweet Baby Ray's Kickin' Bourbon barbecue sauce.
1/2 bottle, about 8 ozs, of Sweet Baby Ray's Sweet and Spicy barbecue sauce.
(You can mix this up. You might want to use less of the Sweet & Spicy as it is pretty spicy.)
Directions
In a skillet, sauté the onions and bell peppers until they are soft, but not really cooked. 
Mix everything together.
From here you have several cooking options:
  1. Slow Cooker: In your slow cooker on low for about 6 hours.
  2. Oven: In a big roasting pan and cook at about 225° in your oven for about 6 hours. Stir often.
  3. BBQ Grill w/wood chips: I mixed everything into foil roasting pan. (I doubled them up because it is pretty heavy.) On my gas grill, I had two foil loaf pans filled with wood chips, one on each side above two burners on high. I put the foil roasting pan in the middle of the grill where the burners were turned off. I left it on here for about 6 hours, letting the smoke from the wood chips smoke the beans a little. Stir about every 15 minutes or so just to make sure the beans on the sides where the burners are don't get too done. But the more often you stir, the less time the smoke stays trapped in the grill. If it gets too hot you can lower the heat under the wood chips once they start smoking. You'll figure it out.
  4. Smoker: Same as BBQ grill with the smoker set about 250° for about 6 hours.
