How to Make Baked Beans With 5 Kinds Of Beans
- Cook 4 slices bacon until crispy. Remove bacon, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease. Crumble bacon and set aside.
- Sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, in reserved bacon grease until translucent (about 5 minutes).
- 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).
- Add the cooked and crumbled bacon and sautéed onions.
- 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).
- Mix thoroughly, ensuring the brown sugar dissolves.
- 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.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve warm.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
