1/8 cup soy or canola oil
8 oz. sirloin strips
1/2 cup water, divided
8 oz. bacon, diced
4 cans pinto beans, drained
3 cups barbeque sauce
1 cup molasses

Cook sirloin strips in oil until medium rare. Deglaze pan with 1/4 cup water; remove beef and let cool before slicing in 1/2 to 1" squares.

Cook bacon until brick red. Deglaze pan with the remaining 1/4 cup water. Place remaining ingredients in a roasting pan; stir in the sirloin and bacon. Bake 50 minutes to 1 hour in a 300 degree (F) oven.

This is the basic recipe. You can add \ substitute some honey, jalopenos, garlic, whatever. You really can't screw it up unless you burn it up. The beans seem to have been at least as popular as the chicken. Fernando doubtless spent several nights sleeping under the stars. Guys like beans.
 
Thanks Walt. Looks interesting. You're absolutely right about screwing up baked beans, each new pot is like a blank canvas... let's see what we have in the fridge/pantry!
