Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 48 oz Canned pork and beans
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Ketchup
- 1.5 tbsp Yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 medium Onion, finely diced
- 6 pieces Bacon strips, chopped
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Smoked paprika
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
Drain most of the bacon grease from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon behind for flavor.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté over medium heat until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the garlic powder and smoked paprika, and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the canned pork and beans, brown sugar, ketchup, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir everything together until well combined.
Fold in half of the cooked bacon pieces, reserving the rest for garnish.
If using a baking dish, transfer the bean mixture into the dish. Otherwise, keep it in the oven-safe skillet.
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and slightly caramelized.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with the remaining crispy bacon and serve warm as a delicious side dish!
