How to Make Bbq Baked Beans Or Slow Cooker

  1. Fry 1 pound bacon, chopped, and 1 medium onion, chopped, in a large skillet over medium heat until almost crispy. (About 10-12 minutes)
  2. Remove bacon and onion from skillet; drain off excess grease, reserving about 2 tablespoons of bacon grease.
  3. In a slow cooker or 9x13 inch baking dish, combine the cooked bacon and onion with the remaining ingredients (except brown sugar).
  4. Stir to thoroughly combine all ingredients.
  5. Sprinkle 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar evenly over the top.
  6. **Slow Cooker Method:** Cover and cook on low for 2-3 hours, or until heated through and flavors have melded.
  7. **Oven Method:** Cover the baking dish with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
  8. Stir gently before serving. Let stand, covered, for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to deepen.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
