Grandma's Old Fashioned Baked Beans
These old fashioned baked beans use canned beans and pantry staples for sweet, tangy perfection—an easy, crowd-pleasing side dish every time.
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound bacon thick slices are best
- 1 onion medium size
- 1 green bell pepper medium size
- 27-30 oz canned pork and beans unflavored
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 3/4 cup ketchup
Instructions
- Cut bacon into 1/2-inch pieces
- Chop onion and pepper into 1/2-inch pieces
- In a small dutch oven, cook bacon over medium heat to render most of the fat; remove from heat and drain fat
- Add chopped onion, pepper, and remaining ingredients; stir until combined
- Place lid on the dutch oven and bake at 300 degrees for 2-1/2—3 hours. The longer you cook them, the thicker and more flavorful the sauce will get.
