A classic Southern-style baked beans recipe made with brown sugar topped with bacon.

Ingredients

  • 2 28-oz. cans plain pork n’ beans
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup barbeque sauce- kenders blackberry chipotle
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
  • A few drops Liquid Smoke (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 5-6 slices thick, center-cut bacon

Directions

  1. 1

    Combine ketchup, barbeque sauce, brown sugar, mustard, worcestershire sauce, Liquid Smoke, garlic and pepper in a medium-sized bowl then mix well; set aside.

  2. 2

    Open each can of beans and pour off all the standing liquid in the top of the can. Discard liquid then add beans to the ketchup mixture. Mix beans gently with the ketchup mixture until thoroughly combined then pour into a shallow 2-quart baking dish.

  3. 3

    Cut bacon into 1/2 inch pieces then place pieces evenly in a single layer on top of beans. I like to kinda crumple each piece a bit instead of laying them flat – like little inchworms (the cute ride-on toys from the 80’s not actual worms).

  4. 4

    Bake beans, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 1 to 1.5 hours or until bacon is cooked through and starting to crisp.
