Drunken baked beans

In a baking dish mix brown sugar, apple cider vinegar and red salsa with a spoon to dissolve the sugar.

Add three cans of pinto beans, drained but not rinsed, diced onion and diced jalapeno or other green pepper.

Season with Dijon mustard, black pepper, salt, smoked paprika, Mexican oregano, garlic powder and cayenne.

Pour in an almost full 12 ounce bottle of Mexican-style lager and mix until completely combined.

Lay three slices of bacon over the top.

Bake in the centre of a 400 degree oven about an hour and a half, until the liquids have reduced and thickened; they should be a touch saucy but not soupy, so bake longer if too liquid.

Let cool a little, as the beans thicken while they cool; garnish with freshly snipped chives. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.
