For the Crust:

1. Prepare the Crust:
In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the skillet.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned. Drain excess fat.
Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the beef. Cook until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the pork and beans, kidney beans, black beans, ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
