Ingredients

• 6 slices bacon
• 1 large onion
• 3 garlic cloves
• 2 28-ounce cans canned baked beans
• 0.5 cups ketchup
• 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
• 0.25 cups brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons molasses
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Slice the bacon into small pieces and cook it in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered bacon fat in the skillet.

Step 3

Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the onion and cook it in the bacon fat until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the baked beans, ketchup, yellow mustard, brown sugar, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, ground black pepper, and smoked paprika. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Add the cooked onions, garlic, and half of the bacon pieces to the bean mixture. Stir well to incorporate.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining bacon pieces over the top of the beans.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the beans are bubbling and the top is caramelized.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Southern-style Paula Deen Beans!
