Ingredients
- 3 cans Bush's Original Baked Beans 28 oz.
- 8 slices bacon cooked and chopped
- ½ c. ketchup
- ⅓ c. yellow mustard
- ⅓ c. brown sugar
- ¼ c. molasses
- 4 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1 vidalia onion chopped
- kosher salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- garlic powder to taste
- red pepper flakes to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Drain about one-third to one-half of the liquid from the baked beans. Add the beans, bacon, onion, mustard, ketchup, brown sugar, molasses, and Worcestershire sauce to a large baking dish and stir until well combined.
- Season to taste with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
- Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the beans are hot, bubbly, and lightly caramelized on top.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- Drain some of the liquid from the beans before mixing to keep the finished dish thick and flavorful.
- Cook the bacon until crisp so it holds its texture while baking.
- Use a sweet Vidalia onion for the best balance of flavor.
- Taste the mixture before baking and adjust the seasonings to your preference.
- Bake until the top is bubbly and lightly caramelized for the best texture and flavor.
- Make the beans a day ahead if needed, as the flavors become even better after resting overnight.
