Ingredients

• 48 oz Canned pork and beans
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Ketchup
• 1.5 tbsp Yellow mustard
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 medium Onion, finely diced
• 6 pieces Bacon strips, chopped
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp Smoked paprika
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 3

Drain most of the bacon grease from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon behind for flavor.

Step 4

Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté over medium heat until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the garlic powder and smoked paprika, and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the canned pork and beans, brown sugar, ketchup, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir everything together until well combined.

Step 7

Fold in half of the cooked bacon pieces, reserving the rest for garnish.

Step 8

If using a baking dish, transfer the bean mixture into the dish. Otherwise, keep it in the oven-safe skillet.

Step 9

Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and slightly caramelized.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 11

Garnish with the remaining crispy bacon and serve warm as a delicious side dish!
