Description
Saucy, sweet, slightly spicy, and full of bacon?! What more could you want in a perfect side dish?! I can’t think of anything better. My whole family RAVES about this baked bean recipe with pork and beans and yours will too. I’m honored to be sharing one of my favorites made famous by my Granny with you today!
Ingredients
- One Chopped Onion
- 4 Slices Bacon
- 4 Cans Pork and Beans
- Salt, Pepper, and Garlic to taste
- 1/2 cup any sweet BBQ sauce (I like Sweet Baby Ray’s)
- 1/2 Cup Ketchup
- 2 tsp hot sauce of choice (My Granny only used Texas Pete) Use more for extra spice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Chop onion and bacon into small bite size pieces.
- Heat a dutch oven or any oven safe pot or deep skillet to medium heat and add onion and bacon.
- Cook until onion is translucent and bacon is cooked to your preference. I like it extra crispy in this recipe because when it cooks with the sauce it does soften.
- Once done, add beans, ketchup, barbecue sauce and any other seasonings. Stir.
- Remove from the stove and add to the oven for at least 20 minutes but up to 60 minutes. (You can skip this step if in a rush but it does yummy things to the flavor!)
Notes
You can omit the hot sauce altogether for a sweet baked bean recipe with no spice. The amount listed in the recipe is mild enough that even my small children eat it. I like mine extra spicy so I add extra hot sauce to my portion. Texas Pete is my preferred hot sauce for this recipe as it has a nice tangy, vinegary flavor with a bit of heat.
This is not a super sweet baked bean recipe like some you might be used to. The only sweetness comes from the ketchup and the bbq sauce. If you like a sweeter baked bean recipe, add brown sugar to taste.
