Cook bacon about half way through and set aside.
Preheat oven to 325°F and set rack to the lower-middle rack position.
Using the skillet that cooked the bacon, saute onion and green pepper for about 5 minutes, until softened.
Add remaining ingredients and stir to combine well. Let mixture simmer for a minute or so.
While the mixture is simmering, grease an oven-proof dish or pot.
Pour beans into the prepared dish.
Bake for 1-2 hours or more, covered, depending on your desired consistency.
Let the beans stand for 5 minutes before serving.
