Baked Beans
Description
Begin by preheating the oven and preparing a baking dish with cooking spray. Bacon is partially cooked in a skillet until some fat renders but it's not fully crisp. After removing the bacon, about one tablespoon of the fat remains to cook diced onions until translucent and seasoned with salt and pepper. The pork and beans, partially drained, are combined in the skillet with yellow mustard, brown sugar, molasses, ketchup, and apple cider vinegar to create a richly flavored sauce. This mixture is transferred to the baking dish and topped with the partially cooked bacon pieces. Baking for two hours allows the sauce to thicken and the bacon to brown, producing a dish that melds smoky, sweet, and tangy notes. Parsley sprinkled on top adds fresh color before serving.
