Best 6 Spicy Bacon Baked Beans Recipes

SWEET AND SPICY BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients. Stir in half the onions and bacon. Transfer to a greased 13x9-in. baking dish., Cover and bake at 350° for 45 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining onions and bacon. Bake, uncovered, 5-10 minutes longer or until bubbly.

PERFECTLY BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• Adjust the oven rack to the lower-middle position and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Fry the regular chopped bacon in a large, deep skillet until the bacon has partially cooked and released about 1/4 cup drippings. Add the onions, peppers and jalapenos, and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the beans, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, ketchup, mustard and chipotles, and bring to a simmer. (If the skillet is not large enough, add the beans and heat to a simmer and then transfer to a large bowl and stir in the remaining ingredients). Pour the flavored beans into an aluminum pan. Top with the uncooked slices of bacon (you can halve the slices if you like). Then bake until the beans are bubbly and the sauce is the consistency of pancake syrup, about 2 hours. Let stand to thicken slightly and serve.

SAUCY STOVETOP BACON BEANS

Steps:

• Arrange the bacon in a large cast iron skillet or 3-quart braiser over medium heat. Cook, rendering the fat and crisping the bacon, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. When cool, roughly chop the bacon. Set aside.
• Leave the bacon grease in the pan and add the onion and bell pepper. Season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic, harissa, coriander, cumin, cayenne and cinnamon and stir to combine and toast until the spices are fragrant. Add the tomato sauce, molasses, vinegar, stock or water and half of the bacon. Season again with a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and reduce to a simmer. Stir in the beans. Simmer rapidly until thickened, about 15 minutes. Season to taste. To store, let beans come to room temperature and refrigerate in a covered container. You can make the beans up to 2 days in advance and just reheat.
• Sprinkle with the remaining bacon, the scallions and cilantro. Serve immediately.

BETTER-THAN-BAKED BEANS WITH SPICY WEDGES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. For the wedges, mix the flour, cayenne and herbs (if using), add some salt and pepper, then toss with the potatoes and oil until well coated. Tip into a roasting tin, then bake for about 35 mins until crisp and cooked through.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a non-stick pan, then gently fry the onion and bacon together for 5-10 mins until the onions are softened and just starting to turn golden. Stir in the sugar, tomatoes, stock and seasoning to taste, then simmer the sauce for 5 mins. Add the beans, then simmer for another 5 mins until the sauce has thickened. Serve with the wedges.
