Boozed Baked Beans

6 slices bacon
1 large onion, chopped
1 cup diced celery
1 medium green pepper, chopped
2 16-oz. cans pork and beans (I use Bush's Brown Sugar/Bacon Beans)
¼ cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 cup catsup
1 tablespoon molasses
¼ c. Jack Daniel’s Whiskey

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook bacon in skillet until done but not yet crisp. Remove bacon from pan, dice and set aside. Drain all but 2 tablespoons drippings. Add onion, celery and bell pepper; sauté until soft. Combine all ingredients, except bacon, in a 2-quart casserole. Top with bacon. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Makes 8 servings.
