Preparation

1
For The BBQ Sauce:
2
Preheat oven to 400° F. Place bacon on a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil, then bake for 15 minutes. Remove bacon and place on paper towels to absorb bacon grease, and reduce oven to 325° F. Reserve at least 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat.
3
Add 1 tablespoon of the rendered bacon fat and 1 tablespoon olive oil to a large saucepan and bring to medium heat.
4
Add the mustard, vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, garlic, salt, cayenne, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer until the sugar has dissolved, about 10 minutes and remove from the heat. While BBQ sauce is cooking, chop up the bacon.
5
After the BBQ sauce has cooled remove the smashed garlic cloves from the sauce and discard.
6
For The Baked Beans:
7
Add 1 Tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon reserved bacon fat to an 8-quart Dutch Oven (or sauce pot) and bring to medium-high heat.
8
Cook the onion, stirring, until soft, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, mix in the garlic and cook 1 more minute.
9
Add the BBQ sauce, bacon, pulled pork, sugar, stock, molasses, a sprinkle of salt & pepper, beans and tomatoes; bring to a boil.
10
Cover pot (or transfer to a baking dish) and place in oven; bake until thick and fragrant, about 2 hours.
