Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375º. Stem and seed bell pepper, cut into 1⁄4" pieces, and put into a 2-quart or 8" x 8" baking dish. Add beans, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, and 1⁄2 cup water to dish and mix well.

Step 2

Drizzle worcestershire sauce on top. Bake until top is glazed-looking and browned, the beans start to peek up from the liquid, and the liquid is bubbling vigorously around the edges, 45-60 minutes. Let cook slightly before serving.
