Ingredients
- 3-4 cans baked beans (about 64-66 ounces)
- 6-8 slices bacon, diced (plus extra for top, if desired)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar or molasses
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoon barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoon Liquid Smoke (optional)
- 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13" baking dish with nonstick spray.
- In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until it's browned and crispy. Drain most of the grease, leaving about 2-3 tablespoons. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add smoked paprika, brown sugar/molasses, and black pepper.
- Stir in ketchup, mustard, liquid smoke, Worcestershire sauce, barbecue sauce, and apple cider vinegar.
- Mix in the cans of beans and combine well.
- Transfer beans to the prepared baking dish. Layer extra slices of bacon on top, if desired. Place in the oven to bake 35-40 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Allow to rest 5-10 minutes, then serve hot and enjoy!
