Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Chop the bacon into small pieces and cook in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving about 2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the skillet.

Finely dice the yellow onion and sauté it in the reserved bacon fat until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned baked beans, cooked bacon, sautéed onions, brown sugar, ketchup, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are well incorporated.
Step 5
Transfer the mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven uncovered for 1 hour, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let the beans sit for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy as a side dish or part of your main meal!
