BBQ Oven Baked Beans with Bacon Recipe + Video
BBQ Baked Beans are cooked in the oven with brown sugar, molasses, and bacon, for a smoky flavor, and plenty of tangy barbecue sauce!
Ingredients
- 32 ounces pinto beans (canned), drained and rinsed
- 32 ounces cannellini or white kidney beans (canned), drained and rinsed
- 16 ounces red kidney beans (canned), drained and rinsed
- 1 pound thick cut bacon divided
- 1 small yellow onion diced
- 1 1/2 cups ketchup
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup molasses preferably not blackstrap molasses
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Pour rinsed and drained beans into a 9x13 baking dish. Set aside.
- Reserve enough bacon to cover the top of your baking dish (I used 5 slices). Using kitchen shears, cut the remaining bacon into bite size pieces.
- Add cut bacon pieces and diced onions to a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Cook until bacon is par cooked, about 3 minutes.
- Add ketchup, brown sugar, molasses, mustard and pepper. Whisk to combine. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat.
- Pour the sauce over the beans and gently stir to combine. Cut reserved bacon into bite sized pieces and place on top of bean mixture.
- Bake beans in a preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until sauce is thickened and bacon is cooked through.
- Serve and enjoy!
