How to Make Baked Beans With 5 Kinds Of Beans

  1. Cook 4 slices bacon until crispy. Remove bacon, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease. Crumble bacon and set aside.
  2. Sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, in reserved bacon grease until translucent (about 5 minutes).
  3. In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, combine: 1 (28 ounce) can pork and beans, 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, 1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, 1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, and 1 (15 ounce) can lima beans (drained and rinsed).
  4. Add the cooked and crumbled bacon and sautéed onions.
  5. Stir in: 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar (add more to taste), 2 tablespoons yellow mustard, and 2 tablespoons maple syrup or karo syrup (adjust to your preference).
  6. Mix thoroughly, ensuring the brown sugar dissolves.
  7. Cover and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 90 minutes, or until beans are tender and the sauce has thickened to your liking. Stir halfway through.
  8. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve warm.
