How to Make Bacon Baked Beans
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Chop 3 slices of bacon into small pieces.
- In an oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, cook the chopped bacon, 1 medium chopped onion, and 2 cloves minced garlic, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and the onion and garlic are softened (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove the pot from the heat.
- Stir in 2 (15-ounce) cans of baked beans, 1/2 cup brown sugar or maple syrup, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard.
- Cut the remaining 2 bacon slices in half.
- Arrange the bacon halves over the top of the baked beans.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the bacon is perfectly crisp and the beans are bubbly and heated through. If using kielbasa, add it in step 5 along with other ingredients.
