EASY BAKED BEANS
I have been making this for almost 40 years. The original recipe calls for all ketchup; it was my idea to make that half ketchup and half barbeque sauce. I do love spicy. I have never had a baked bean recipe that was this good and also this easy. Nobody will know you didn't spend all day on it.

- Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Over a Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, cut 3 strips of the bacon into small pieces and cook on medium-high heat until the fat is rendered and the bacon is crisp. Remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate leaving the fat in the pot. Add the onions, thyme, and then season with salt and pepper. Cook until the onions are tender and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the brown sugar, garlic, dry mustard, paprika, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and Sriracha.

EASY VEGAN BAKED BEANS
This is a less-sweet baked beans recipe that's better the second day. I really like the different flavor of this one. Although the recipe says to cover while cooking, I left it uncovered since it seemed juicier than I wanted. This was no problem and it did work to thicken them up. From Eden Organic Foods.

EASY DELICIOUS BAKED BEANS
If you prefer a sweet taste then leave the brown sugar at 1 cup --- I suggest to use only Heinz chili sauce the flavor seems to work the best for this --- prep time does not include frying the bacon... these beans are *very* good!
