Quick Homemade Baked Beans (4 Ways)

We love Baked Beans, and I have never found a recipe that was just the right blend of sweet and savory. I had no choice but to make my own. We’re very happy with how they turned out – not too sweet, not too spicy, they’re just right! I included three variations at the bottom of the recipe. One is a Spicy-Style, the second is BBQ-Style, and the third is Hobo-Style.

INGREDIENTS: YIELDS 4-5 Servings

One 15.5 oz can Great Northern Beans, drained

3-4 slices Bacon

¼ cup Sweet Onion, chopped

1 Sweet Mini Pepper, chopped

2 TBSP Brown Sugar

2 TBSP Molasses

1 rounded TBSP Spicy Brown Mustard

1 TBSP Apple Cider Vinegar

1 TBSP Worcestershire Sauce

¼ cup Ketchup

3 TBSP Water

PREPARATION:

In a small Cast Iron or other oven-safe pan, cook Bacon until crisp. Remove Bacon and reserve 1 TBSP Bacon Grease in the pan.

Sauté Onions and Mini Sweet Pepper until soft. Add remaining Ingredients and cook for 5 minutes over low/medium heat. Add Bacon.

Cover with Aluminum Foil and bake at 375° F for 30 minutes. Remove Foil and bake an additional 5 minutes. Serve.

Like em spicy? When Sautéing Onions and Sweet Pepper, add 2 chopped Jalapeno Peppers and a few dashes of Cayenne Pepper.

Rather have BBQ style? Replace the Ketchup with BBQ sauce.

Want em hearty? Cook the Bacon as directed above. Remove from pan along with most of the grease. Add ½ lb Ground Beef and cook about halfway, chopping it as you go. Add the Onions and Sweet Mini Pepper. Continue cooking until Beef is no longer pink. If a lot of grease remains, drain it. Continue with recipe as directed above.
