Baked Beans Ingredients

Method

Baked Beans Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon, drain on paper towels, and crumble once cooled.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Onion

    In the same skillet with the bacon fat, sauté the chopped onion until translucent and soft, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the pinto beans, kidney beans, sautéed onion, crumbled bacon, brown sugar, barbecue sauce, mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.

  4. 4

    Bake the Beans

    Transfer the mixture to a baking dish (half or full pan) and cover with aluminum foil. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes. Remove the foil in the last 15 minutes of baking to allow the top to caramelize.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Southern style baked beans!
