homemade BBQ baked beans recipe
Get ready for the picnic with a big ol’ pot of easy homemade BBQ baked beans! They’re much tastier and way cheaper then buying them from the deli counter!
Ingredients
- 10 slices thick-cut bacon cut in half
- 1/2 medium onion small dice
- 1 medium green pepper small dice
- 2 cloves garlic
- 53 oz can pork and beans
- 8 oz can tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp molasses
- 1 Tbsp paprika
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp dry mustard powder
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Fry bacon in a large ovenproof pot over medium heat on the stove until bacon is cooked through, but not crisp. Remove the bacon from the pot then set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the grease.
- Add onions and peppers to the pot and sauté in bacon drippings for about 5 minutes until tender. Add the can of pork and beans and all remaining ingredients then bring to a simmer. Once the beans are bubbling, reduce the heat to low.
- Chop about half of the bacon and stir the pieces into beans. Lay the remaining bacon strips across the top of the beans.
- Cover the pot and transfer to the oven and bake for about 2 hours, until the sauce is very thick and bubbly.
- Remove from oven and let stand to thicken slightly.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
If you like your baked beans spicy, double up on the paprika!
