Peppy Baked Beans
These quick and easy baked beans start with canned pork and beans, with some added onion, bacon and more! Needs only 90 minutes in the oven! Perfect for Summer entertaining.
Ingredients :
- 56-60 oz canned Pork and Beans, four 14 or 15 oz. cans *see Note 1 below
- 3/4 cup Fancy molasses, *see Note 2 below
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard, or 1 Tbsp yellow prepared mustard
- 3 Tablespoons white vinegar
- 1/4 cup catsup
- 1 medium onion, peeled *see Note 3
- 5-6 slices bacon, uncooked, diced
Directions :
- Preheat oven to 350F (regular bake setting/not fan assisted).
- In a large bowl, combine the canned beans, molasses, mustard, vinegar and catsup. Stir to combine well, then pour into an oven-safe casserole dish (about 2.5 qt).
- Peel the whole onion, then using a sharp knife, cut an "X" into it, from the topping, cutting down about 3/4 of the way into the onion. Spread the onion out a bit, then place into the centre of the bean mixture. Scatted the diced bacon evenly over the top.
- Bake UNCOVERED, at 350F for 1 hour 15 minutes. Remove from oven and increase oven temperature to 400F. Remove the onion and discard. Stir the beans well. Return to 400F oven for 10-15 minutes more, or until the beans are nicely browned and syrupy on top.
