How to Make Baked Beans Southern Style

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  4. Pour the bean mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
  5. Arrange bacon slices evenly over the top of the beans.
  6. Cover the casserole dish with a lid or aluminum foil.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes, covered.

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.
