My mom has been making these easy beans for as long as I can remember, every one loves them. Hope your family does also.

Provided by Todd Feldt

Categories     Beans

Time 2h10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (28 ounce) can bush onion baked beans
1 (28 ounce) can bush maple & brown sugar baked beans
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1/2 cup ketchup
4 -5 pieces bacon, any flavor

Steps:

  • Simple!
  • Mix all ingredients.
  • Cut up bacon in 1 inch pieces and top the mixture.
  • Bake at 325 for 2 hrs or until cooked down and bacon is fully cooked.
  • Note! you can also add some BBQ sauce to change it up.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of beans. This will give your baked beans a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans, and navy beans.
  • Soak your beans overnight. This will help them to cook more evenly and quickly. If you don't have time to soak your beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 5 minutes, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Use a good quality bacon. The bacon you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your baked beans. Look for a bacon that is thick-cut and has a good smoke flavor.
  • Add some sweetness. A little bit of sweetness can help to balance out the savory flavors of the bacon and beans. You can add sweetness with brown sugar, maple syrup, or molasses.
  • Season your beans well. Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other spices to taste. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper.
  • Bake your beans low and slow. This will help them to develop a rich, complex flavor. Bake your beans at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 4 hours, or until they are tender and flavorful.
  • Serve your beans hot. Baked beans are best served hot, right out of the oven. They can be served as a main course or a side dish.

Conclusion:

Baked beans are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a casual weeknight meal or a special occasion. With a little planning and effort, you can make baked beans that are sure to impress your family and friends.
