How to Make Barbecue Baked Beans Pit Beans
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place 1 pound of bacon on a baking sheet and bake until crispy, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and crumble.
- Add 2 large chopped onions to the bacon drippings on the baking sheet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until translucent.
- In a large (at least 9x13 inch) aluminum roasting pan, combine the following ingredients: 3 (15-ounce) cans of baked beans, 1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup molasses, 2 tablespoons of yellow mustard, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, the crumbled bacon, and the cooked onions. Gently stir to combine.
- Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until heated through and bubbly. Uncover for the last 15 minutes to allow the beans to slightly caramelize.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
