KB’s Best Ever Baked Beans
Prep Time:15 minutes
Cook Time:1 hour 45 minutes
Total Time:2 hours

Ingredients

  • 2 15 oz canned baked beans
  • 1 small onion or 1/2 onion
  • 1 Tablespoons butter for sautéing onions
  • 1/4 c ketchup
  • 1.5 Tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 2 T molasses unsulphured
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 slices uncooked bacon each slice cut in half or thirds

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 8x8 -inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
  • In a skillet, melt butter over medium to medium-high heat and cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they're soft and translucent.
  • In your dish, combine the baked beans, ketchup, mustard, molasses, and brown sugar, and stir until well blended.
  • Add the sautéed onions to the mixture and mix everything together.
  • Arrange the raw bacon strips on top in a single layer. Place the dish in the oven, uncovered, and bake for 1.5 to 1 hour and 45 minutes. Keep an eye on the beans — they’re done when the top turns golden brown and slightly caramelized.
  • If you're doubling the recipe, simply extend the baking time to 2 to 3 hours for the perfect result.
