How to Make Baked Red Beans

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large oven-safe dish (approximately 9x13 inches), combine one (15-ounce) can of red beans and their juices.
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 cup brown sugar.
  4. Bake uncovered for 50-60 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sauce has thickened and the beans are tender. If the sauce becomes too dry before the beans are tender, add 2-3 tablespoons of water or broth.
  5. Serve hot with crusty bread or as a side dish.
