- 1/2 lb bacon
- 1 large onion
- 1 (16 oz) can pork and beans
- 3 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 5 tablespoons maple syrup
- 4 tablespoons ketchup
How To Make Baked Beans?
- Preheat oven to 160°C / 325°F.
- Fry the bacon in a skillet until crispy, then crumble and set aside.
- Sauté the onion in the bacon drippings until golden brown.
- Mix the bacon, onion, and drippings with the pork and beans, mustard, maple syrup, and ketchup in a bowl.
- Pour the mixture into a baking dish and cover. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes until the beans are bubbly and slightly thickened.
Recipe Tips
- Crisp Your Bacon Well: Ensure the bacon is crispy before crumbling; this adds a satisfying crunch and richer flavor to the beans.
- Use Fresh Onion: Sauté the onion until golden brown to bring out a deep, sweet flavor that enhances the dish.
- Mix Thoroughly: Combine all ingredients well before baking to ensure even flavor distribution.
- Cover While Baking: Covering the dish helps the beans stay moist and prevents drying out.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the mix before baking and adjust the maple syrup to your preference for a perfectly balanced sweetness.
How To Store Leftovers
- Refrigerate: First, let the leftover baked beans cool until they reach room temperature. Transfer them to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3-4 days to keep them fresh.
- Freeze: Allow the baked beans to cool completely, then place them in a freezer-safe container or bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. To use, thaw the beans in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
- Reheat: Transfer the baked beans to a microwave-safe dish. Cover and reheat on medium power for 2-3 minutes, stirring halfway through for even heating.
