Best Baked Beans With Bacon Breadcrumbs Recipes

HOMEMADE BAKED BEANS WITH BACON (SOUTHERN)

Steps:

• Heat oil over high heat (can skip oil if bacon is super fatty). Add bacon and cook for 2 minutes.
• Add onion and garlic. Cook for 3 minutes until onion and bacon are golden.
• Add remaining ingredients. Stir, bring to simmer, then place lid on.
• Then either turn down heat to medium low (simmering gently) and cook on the stove for 1 hour, stirring every now and then so the bottom doesn't catch. OR bake at 160°C/325°F for 60 minutes.
• SLOW COOKER option: Reduce water to 1/4 cup, transfer to slow cooker and cook for 6 hours on low.
• The sauce should be thickened (cook with lid off for a bit if not thick enough) and glossy. Adjust salt and pepper to taste at the end. See notes for serving suggestions!
