How to Make Barbecue Baked Beans

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. In a large, heavy pot, cook 4 slices of bacon over medium heat until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
3. Remove bacon and set aside. Reserve 2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the pot; discard the rest.
4. Add 1 medium onion, chopped; 4 cloves garlic, minced; and 1 inch ginger, minced, to the pot. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
5. Remove pot from heat. Stir in 2 cups of baked beans, 1 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup molasses, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon dry mustard, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and the cooked bacon, crumbled.
6. Pour mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
7. Bake, covered, for 1 hour, or until heated through and bubbly. Uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes for a deeper caramelization (optional).
8. Serve warm alongside your favorite barbecue meats and sides like coleslaw and potato salad!
