Directions:

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C or 400°F, then get a 2½ to 3 -quart baking dish or casserole pan, and add the brown sugar, vinegar, and salsa. Stir them all together until the sugar has dissolved and incorporated, then add the pinto beans (make sure they are drained but not rinsed), chopped onion, chopped jalapeno peppers, and mustard.

Season them with paprika, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, oregano, and cayenne pepper. Now, pour the lager all over the mixture, then give them a good stir until thoroughly combined, and lay the bacon strips all over the top as shown in the video. Place it in the preheated oven, then allow it to bake for about 1 to 1½ hours or until the liquid has reduced and thickened, and serve. Enjoy!
