Baked Beans

My mother makes the best baked beans. I love the sweet flare the pineapple adds. These are the perfect side dish for a BBQ and they serve a large crowd. Enjoy!

2 large cans pork n' beans
1 large onion, chopped
1 can pineapple chunks
1 green pepper, minced
1 can mandarin oranges
1 can fruit cocktail
1 c brown sugar
1 c ketchup

2 t worcestershire sauce

Brown Bacon in pan. Add chopped onion & pepper. Simmer 8 min. Place beans, sugar, ketchup  and worcestershire sauce in large casserole dish. Add bacon & onion mixture, including drippings. Bake for 3 hours at 320. Stirring occasionally.
