These best-ever baked beans are so darn good and incredibly simple to throw together. This recipe has been my favourite and go-to baked beans that have been with my family for years! This is a must-try and a must-have, especially during barbecues.
I love comforting meals, and these big-old baked beans are one of the most comforting meals made with sauteed onions, molasses, brown sugar, ketchup, mustard, and bacon. The bacon in this dish, adds so much flavour and crunch to this already fantastic pork and beans. Make sure to give this a try very soon. I am pretty sure you’ll love every inch of this best-ever baked beans!
Ingredients
1 to 2 tbsp butter (for sauteing onions)
6 to 8 slices of uncooked bacon, each cut in half or thirds
2 medium or 1 large onion, chopped (yellow or sweet onion, not Vidalia)
3/4 c. ketchup
5 cans of pork and beans (15 oz. cans – VanCamp’s Pork and Beans or similar)
3 tbsp yellow mustard
1/4 to 1/2 c. brown sugar (use less for less sweetness)
1/2 c. molasses
HOW TO MAKE ANASTASIA’S BEST-EVER BAKED BEANS
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 325 degrees F. Using non-stick cooking spray, grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
Step 2: Over medium-high heat, saute the onions in butter until translucent and the onions have softened.
Step 3: Combine the beans with the sauteed onions, ketchup, mustard, molasses, and brown sugar until well blended. Into the prepared baking dish, pour the mixture and top with a single layer of uncooked bacon.
Step 4: Place in the middle of the preheated oven and bake for about 2 to 3 hours, uncovered, until the top of the beans is dark and caramelized.
Step 5: Remove from the oven when done and serve warm. Enjoy!
Slow Cooker:
Place everything in your slow cooker starting with the onions. Make sure to pre-cook the bacon. Then, set to cook for 6 to 8 hours on a low setting.
