Boston BBQ Oven Baked Beans with Bacon
Oven baked beans are made with brown sugar, molasses, and pork for a delicious, smoky flavor. Make this recipe as a quick and easy side dish.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 (16 ounce) cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 (16 ounce) cans Cantellini beans (or Northern), drained and rinsed
- 1 (16 ounce) can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 pound thick cut bacon, uncooked (divided)
- 1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 1/2 cups ketchup
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Pour rinsed and drained beans into a 9x13 baking dish. Set aside.
- Reserve enough bacon to cover the top of your baking dish (I used 5 slices). Using kitchen shears, cut the remaining bacon into bite size pieces.
- Add cut bacon pieces and onions to a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Cook until bacon is par cooked, about 3 minutes.
- Add ketchup, brown sugar, molasses, mustard and pepper. Whisk to combine. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat.
- Pour the sauce over the beans and gently stir to combine. Cut reserved bacon into bite sized pieces and place on top of bean mixture.
- Bake beans in a preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until sauce is thickened and bacon is cooked through.
