Preparation

Step 1

Prepare campfire or grill for medium heat, using 32-36 charcoal briquettes or large wood chips.

In a 10-in. Dutch oven, cook bacon over campfire until crisp. Remove; discard drippings. Return bacon to pan; stir in baked beans, pie filling, root beer and, if desired, ancho chili pepper

Cover Dutch oven. When briquettes or wood chips are covered with ash, place Dutch oven on top of 16-18 briquettes. Place 16-18 briquettes on pan cover.

Cook 30-40 minutes to allow flavors to blend. If desired, sprinkle servings with cheese.
