Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter, or as needed
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium red onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
1 pound bacon, diced
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
3 medium jalapeno peppers, minced, or to taste
1 cup beer, or more to taste
1 cup barbecue sauce
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
6 cups cooked pinto beans
1 pinch garlic salt, or to taste
cracked black pepper to taste

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter.
2 Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onion and garlic in hot oil until onion begins to soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Add bacon, bell pepper, and jalapeños; cook and stir until bacon is browned, 7 to 10 minutes.
3 Stir beer, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, and molasses together in a large bowl. Stir in pinto beans, bacon-onion mixture, garlic salt, and pepper. Pour bean mixture into the prepared baking dish.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling and browned, about 45 minutes.
