Ingredients

Servings

  • 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Dash cayenne pepper more if you like heat
  • Pinch kosher salt
  • black pepper a couple of grinds of fresh pepper

For the Beans

  • 2 28 ounce cans baked beans I used B&M original baked beans
  • 1/2 large sweet onion diced (Vidalia or other sweet onion is fine)
  • 1 large bell pepper finely diced (I used yellow, use whatever color you like)
  • 1/2 lb Bacon uncooked, chopped into pieces (I prefer uncured, nitrate, nitrite free)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175° C). Add all of the sauce ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine, whisking if needed.
  2. Add pork and beans (undrained), above sauce, and diced onion and bell pepper. Using a large spoon or spatula stir to combine beans with sauce.
  3. Pour into a 9x13 casserole baking dish. Dice a 1/2 lb of bacon into small (bite-ish sized) pieces and toss onto the top of the beans. No need to make it pretty, but spread it out so that the bacon gets crispy.
  4. Bake uncovered for 1 1/2 - 2 hours until bubbly and bacon is crispy. If crisper bacon is desired, with beans on middle rack, broil for 2-3 minutes until desired crispness is reached. Allow to rest for 10 minutes and serve warm.

  • Make Ahead & Storage

  • Reheat by placing individual servings in a microwave-safe bowl and reheat. Or place bulk beans back in 350°F oven, covered for 20-30 minutes, then uncover and broil for a few minutes (watch carefully) to crisp the bacon back up.
