Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Open the canned baked beans and pour them into a 2-quart oven-safe baking dish.

Step 6

Mix in the brown sugar, molasses, ketchup, mustard, apple cider vinegar, and Neely’s Barbecue Sauce, if using.

Stir the ingredients thoroughly to ensure they are evenly combined.

Step 8

Top the mixture with the crispy bacon pieces.

Step 9

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 1 hour, or until the sauce is thickened and bubbly.
