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
- 2-3 slices uncooked bacon whole or 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 preheated skillet, lightly crisp up bacon (do not cook all the way through). Then add some butter (if there isn't enough fat from the bacon) 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 bacon strips on top in a single layer. Place the dish in the oven, uncovered, and bake for 1.5 hours. 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 hours for the perfect result.
