Dad's Famous BBQ Baked Beans
Description
This recipe mixes canned pork and beans with diced or whole bacon, brown sugar, BBQ sauce, diced onions, ground mustard, black pepper, and kosher salt. After combining, the beans are baked at 350°F for 90 minutes in an oven-safe dish, allowing the flavors to deepen and the texture to thicken.
The bacon adds smokiness that seeps into the beans while brown sugar and BBQ sauce provide sweetness and tang. The ground mustard and black pepper bring subtle heat and complexity. Baking the mixture slowly ensures a tender texture and well-blended taste.
Serve this baked beans dish as a classic barbecue side, ideal with grilled meats, burgers, or sandwiches. It adds a hearty, flavorful element to cookouts and family dinners.
For variations, the bacon can be left whole and removed before serving or diced into the beans. This dish can also be prepared in a slow cooker on low for 4-6 hours or smoked at 225°F for 2-3 hours for alternative cooking methods.

- 30 ounces pork and beans 2 (15 oz) cans

Notes
- Leaving the bacon slice whole during baking allows removal before serving for less chew.
