Ingredients

2 cans baked beans *use 16-18 oz cans, drain a bit prior to dumping them in
¾ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon dry mustard
6 slices bacon *cut into small pieces
½ cup ketchup

Notes

Storing

Refrigerator- Allow leftovers to fully cool before covering pan or transferring to an airtight container to store up to 5 days.
Freezer- Place in a freezer safe container up to 3 months. Allow to thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
Reheating- microwave in 30 second increments until heated through or place pan into oven at 350 degrees to bake for about 30 minutes, or until heated through.
Making Ahead- Prepare beans as directed and cover with plastic wrap. Place in fridge up to 2 days. Once ready to bake, place in oven and add a few extra minutes to cook time since the beans will be chilled.

Tips for Success

Don’t skimp on the beans! Use a good, quality canned bean such as Bush’s. You can pick any flavor they offer, but Bush’s brand is packed with flavor as is, so once you add the extra ingredients to them, you’ll have a mouthwatering dish!
Don’t forget to drain the cans of beans a bit prior to adding them to the dish. This will help avoid runny beans, which can be hard to scoop!
Cook low and slow! If you get in a bind and need to cook these for a shorter duration, that works, but trust the time and allow the flavors to truly meld together! Want to switch things up? Turn these into slow cooker baked beans by cooking on low for 6 hours.
Don’t be afraid to add extra additions! Extra bacon (perhaps even jalapeno flavored), onions, bell peppers, jalapenos, green onions on top, etc.
If doubling recipe, prepare in a 9x13 baking pan and place a sheet pan underneath to prevent spills in the oven.
To balance the sweetness in this BBQ Style Baked Beans recipe, add 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar when combining the ingredients.
