Ingredients

• 56 oz canned baked beans
• 6 slices bacon
• 1 medium yellow onion

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease in the skillet.

Step 3

Finely dice the yellow onion. Add the onion to the skillet with the reserved bacon grease and sauté over medium heat until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Chop the cooked bacon into small pieces and set aside.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the baked beans, sautéed onions, brown sugar, ketchup, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Mix well to fully incorporate the ingredients.

Step 6

Gently stir in the chopped bacon.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish or a large oven-safe casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.

Step 9

After 1 hour, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is caramelized and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the baked beans cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
