How to Make Baconless Baked Beans

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, combine the baked beans, brown sugar, molasses, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and onion soup mix.
  3. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  4. Top the bean mixture generously with French-fried onions.
  5. Cover the pot and bake for 60 minutes.
  6. Remove the lid and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the beans are heated through. The onions should be crispy.
  7. Serve warm. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
