How to Make Baked Beans Southern Style

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients (see below) ensuring everything is well mixed.
  3. Lightly grease a medium-sized (approximately 2-quart) casserole dish with cooking spray.
  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.
  8. Remove the lid or foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the beans are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly. The bacon should be crispy.
  9. Let the baked beans cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. 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.
