Ingredients:
- 6 slices bacon
- 2 cans (16 ounces each) baked beans
- 1 medium onion, diced
- ¼ cup yellow mustard
- ¾ cup ketchup
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and diced
Preparation:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Start by cooking the bacon in a large skillet or microwave until it’s partially cooked but still pliable. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
In a 9-inch square baking dish, combine the baked beans, diced onion, yellow mustard, ketchup, brown sugar, and diced Granny Smith apple. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
Lay the partially cooked bacon slices over the top of the bean mixture. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the beans are bubbling and caramelized.
Serve this sweet and savory Brown Sugar & Bacon Baked Beans as a delicious side dish at your next barbecue, potluck, or family dinner. It’s a crowd-pleaser that combines the perfect balance of flavors!
