Ingredients

• 1 pound Thick-cut bacon
• 1 large Yellow onion, diced
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 6 cups Canned baked beans
• 1.5 cups BBQ sauce
• 0.5 cup Ketchup
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces and set aside.

Step 3

Drain most of the bacon grease from the skillet, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the pan.

Step 4

Add the diced onion to the skillet with the reserved bacon grease. Sauté over medium heat until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the baked beans, BBQ sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.

Step 6

Add the cooked onion and garlic mixture into the bowl and stir to combine.

Step 7

Transfer the bean mixture into a large oven-safe dish or casserole dish. Spread it out evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the top, spreading it evenly across the dish.

Step 9

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-30 minutes, or until the beans are bubbling and slightly thickened.

Step 11

Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Serve warm as a delicious side dish and enjoy!
