Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 56 oz baked beans (canned)
- 6 slices thick-cut bacon
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 1 medium bell pepper, diced (red or green)
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside on paper towels to drain. Once cooled, chop into small pieces.
In the same skillet, use the rendered bacon fat to sauté the diced onion and bell pepper until softened and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned baked beans, sautéed onions and bell peppers, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if desired). Stir well to combine.
Fold in the chopped bacon pieces (reserve a few for topping, if desired).
Pour the mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish and spread evenly.
If you have reserved bacon pieces, scatter them on top for added flavor and texture.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, allowing the top to caramelize slightly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy these smoky, sweet, and savory barbecue baked beans!
