Best Baked Beans

Literally the best baked beans! Why? Besides the fact they are easy-using canned beans and adding extra goodness like bacon to it, they are a deep smokey flavorful side that will be the perfect addition to your meal.

WHAT ARE BAKED BEANS?

Baked beans can be made from scratch but with this recipe you don't need to. This recipe called for both canned baked  beans and ingredients from your fridge and pantry  making it a semi-homemade meal. This recipe came down from my great great grandma and 100% is  famous for it.

WHAT INGREDIENTS DO I NEED

• Canned  baked beans
• bacon
• brown sugar
• dried mustard
• tomato sauce
• onion
• jalapeno or bell pepper

WHAT BRAND OF CANNED BAKED BEANS DO I BUY?

I like to get the traditional flavor baked beans in tomato sauce. It doesn't necessarily matter what brand, if you have favorite grab that.

SAUTE YOUR BACON

First start by cutting your bacon into bite size pieces and cooking them up  in a pan.

SAUTE YOUR ONION AND PEPPERS

Remove the bacon and  most the fat. Keep a couple of tbs of bacon grease in the pan to saute your onions and peppers in.

when your onions and pepper are soft add in the remaining ingredients

• tomato sauce
• canned baked beans
• brown sugar
• dried mustard
• bacon

Stir everything together and bake.

IS BAKING A MUST?

The recipe calls for the beans to be baked for 1 hour. I thought it might be a little over kill until I tasted the beans right after combining all ingredients and again after baking. These baked beans taste amazing and better after it has  baked and the flavors have married in that heat of the oven. It creates a deep flavor that won't be matched by just stirring ingredients together, or opening up a can from the grocery store. TRUST ME.
