Author Notes
These are a necessary dish to every picnic.
They are equally good hot or cold, and need no refrigeration.
They go with anything from hot dogs and hamburgers to barbqued pork loins and everything in between.
I call them cheater beans because they start with canned beans for easier making, but you certainly could use dried beans that have been soaked to soften. —jane mcmillan
Ingredients
-
28 ounces
can baked beans, drain off some of the juice
-
1/2 cup
finely chopped onion
-
2 tablespoons
ketchup
-
1 teaspoon
dried mustard
-
1/4 cup
brown sugar, packed
-
1 1/2 tablespoons
molasses
-
1/4 teaspoon
freshly ground black pepper
-
dash
kosher salt
-
3
slices bacon
Directions
-
Drain off some of the liquid off beans, you don't want them soupy. Place in a large bowl.
-
Chop onions, place in bowl with beans.
-
Add everything else but the bacon, and mix well.
-
Pour into a casserole that has been sprayed with non stick spray
-
Cut the bacon in half and arrange around the top of the beans.
-
Bake in a pre heated 350° oven for about an hour, or until bacon is browned and crispy, and beans bubbly. You can take them hot like this, or just warm as they are, they will be equally delish when you get there and even when they cool, but they usually don't get to that point. i have never taken any home with me either.
