I cook a lot of really good food. But I am not a natural cook. I try recipe after recipe until I find the one I like. Some recipes I just can't get right, like baked beans.
Last night I found a delicious recipe for baked beans. I think it is a keeper. I modified it from
this, very simple recipe. I was actually out of brown sugar, but I think it needed it. So, I added it to the recipe.
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb bacon
- 1/2 large onion
- 2 (16 oz) can pork and beans
- 3 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 5 tablespoons maple syrup (I used Mrs. Butterworth's)
- 4 tablespoons ketchup
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar
Preparation
Preheat oven to 325°.
Drain most of the liquid from the pork and beans, leaving it as liquidy as you desire.
In a skillet, fry bacon until crispy and crumble.
Sauté the onion until brown in a couple of teaspoons of bacon grease.
Mix bacon, onion and the two teaspoons of bacon grease with the remaining ingredients. Pour into a baking dish and bake covered for 45 to 60 minutes.
