Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices bacon
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 can (15 oz) canned kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 oz) canned pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 oz) canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 0.5 cup ketchup
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove the bacon from the skillet, crumble it, and set aside. Leave about 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings in the skillet.
Add the diced onion to the skillet with the bacon drippings and sauté for 3-5 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the kidney beans, pinto beans, and black beans. Add the sautéed onion and garlic mixture to the bowl.
Stir in the BBQ sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Top the beans with the crumbled bacon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the beans are bubbling and slightly thickened.
Remove the baked beans from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
To freeze as part of OAMC, let the cooked beans cool completely before transferring them to freezer-safe containers or bags. Label and freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and warm in the oven or on the stovetop until heated through.
