How to Make Baked Beans Smoked With A Kick
- Cook 1/2 pound bacon in a skillet over medium heat until halfway cooked. Remove bacon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Crumble bacon when cooled.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup yellow mustard, 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1 tablespoon ground black pepper, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 teaspoon liquid smoke, 1-2 tablespoons hot sauce (adjust to your spice preference), and 1 teaspoon seasoned salt until smooth.
- Add 2 (15-ounce) cans of baked beans to the bowl with the sauce and stir gently to combine thoroughly.
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Pour bean mixture into a 13x9 inch baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through.
- Remove foil, stir in the crumbled bacon, and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes to crisp the bacon slightly.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
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.
