Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Once cool, crumble or chop.
In the same skillet with a bit of the bacon fat, sauté the chopped onion and green bell pepper over medium heat for 5–6 minutes, until softened.
In a 9x13 baking dish, combine baked beans, onion, bell pepper, chipotle peppers, peaches, bacon, brown sugar, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine all ingredients.
Bake uncovered at 350°F for 45–60 minutes, until hot, bubbling, and slightly caramelized on top. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to settle.
