Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups canned baked beans
- 1.5 cups pineapple chunks (canned or fresh)
- 0.5 cups pineapple juice (reserved from canned pineapple or fresh)
- 0.5 cups ketchup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 medium onion (diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the baked beans, pineapple chunks, pineapple juice, ketchup, brown sugar, yellow mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Stir the cooked onion and garlic into the bean mixture until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes, or until the mixture is bubbly and slightly thickened.
Remove from the oven and let the dish cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
