I made this just for Brunch this morning for a friend.. I just had to share it with you all..

One day I was doing a small cook out for just the family.  I went to the store several times and forgot Baked Beans more than once...  What is a cook out without Baked Peas.. So I looked in to the cabinets.. I was like Hmmmm! This might be good.. Turns out the FAMILY LOVED it...

This will be a serving for 8 to 10 people

• Dash of Salt and Pepper to taste...

*Depending on how sweet you like your beans you can always add more sugar.. I know I did*

Mix all ingredients Except the Bacon put them in a pan in which you are going to cook them in... Then add the bacon to the top.. Let it bake for about 35 minutes at 350...
