Preheat the oven to 375. Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the
garlic, green pepper, onion, ginger and 1 teaspoon of salt and
cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables
are softened, about 8 minutes. Add the diluted Sweet and Sticky
Barbecue Sauce and all of the beans and simmer over low heat for
30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Transfer the beans to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and arrange the
bacon strips on top. Bake the beans for 45 minutes, or until
bubbling and the bacon is crisp. Let cool for 15 minutes before
serving.
MAKE AHEAD The beans can be made through Step 1 and
refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before baking.
