Ingredients
- 4 cups Canned baked beans
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 0.25 cups Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 4 slices Bacon strips
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
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 and place it on a paper towel to drain excess grease. Crumble the cooked bacon and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, using the leftover bacon grease, sauté the diced onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant. Remove the skillet from heat.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the baked beans, brown sugar, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Step 6
Add the sautéed onions and garlic to the bean mixture and stir until evenly incorporated.
Step 7
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread it evenly with a spatula.
Step 8
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over the top of the beans.
Step 9
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the beans are bubbling and the top is slightly caramelized.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy Mo Nique’s Baked Beans as a stand-alone dish or a perfect side to BBQ favorites!
