Ingredients for Bacony Beans

  • 1 lb bacon
  • Sweet Onion
  • Pork And Beans
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

How to Make Bacony Beans

  1. Cook 1 lb bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside, reserving about 2 tablespoons of bacon grease.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. In a large (9x13 inch) casserole dish, combine 2 (15-ounce) cans of baked beans, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup molasses, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Add the cooked bacon, softened onion, and reserved bacon grease to the casserole dish.
  5. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
  6. Bake, uncovered, in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 45 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
