Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices bacon
- 1 large onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 28-ounce cans canned baked beans
- 0.5 cups ketchup
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 0.25 cups brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Slice the bacon into small pieces and cook it in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered bacon fat in the skillet.
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.
In the same skillet, add the onion and cook it in the bacon fat until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the baked beans, ketchup, yellow mustard, brown sugar, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, ground black pepper, and smoked paprika. Stir to combine.
Add the cooked onions, garlic, and half of the bacon pieces to the bean mixture. Stir well to incorporate.
Transfer the mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining bacon pieces over the top of the beans.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the beans are bubbling and the top is caramelized.
Remove from the oven and let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Southern-style Paula Deen Beans!
