Ingredients

  • Two cans of pork-infused baked beans, each 16 ounces in size
  • Half a pound of bacon, finely chopped
  • One generously-sized onion, finely diced
  • A quarter cup of delicate light brown sugar
  • Four tablespoons of tangy ketchup
  • Three tablespoons of a flavorful barbeque sauce, like Open Pit®
  • Three tablespoons of zesty mustard
  • Two tablespoons of rich molasses

Step 1

Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for that perfect cooking environment. In a Dutch oven, combine the hearty flavors of baked beans, succulent pork, crispy bacon, aromatic onion, sweet brown sugar, tangy ketchup, rich barbeque sauce, zesty mustard, and luscious molasses.

Step 2

Once your flavorful mixture is ready, cover it and let it bake in the preheated oven until it reaches a delightful thickness and starts to bubble. This process usually takes around 45 to 60 minutes, so be patient and allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep it Cool : Store your baked beans in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain their freshness and flavor.
  2. 2. Freeze for Later : If you've made a big batch and want to save some for later, portion out the beans into freezer-safe bags or containers and freeze them for a quick and easy side dish another day.
