Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices bacon
- 1 medium (diced) yellow onion
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 4 cups canned baked beans
- 1 cup (drained) canned pineapple chunks in juice
- 0.5 cup ketchup
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1.5 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until it is crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon and set it aside.
In the same skillet, using the leftover bacon grease, sauté the diced yellow onion over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, or until softened and fragrant. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed onions and garlic with the baked beans, pineapple chunks, ketchup, brown sugar, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, ground mustard, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Stir until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
Pour the bean mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread it out evenly with a spoon or spatula.
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over the top of the bean mixture.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
After 40 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is slightly caramelized and bubbling.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and enjoy your Hawaiian Pineapple Baked Beans!
