Southern Style Baked Beans

By charlotteh371

Ingredients

• 2 28oz cans cheap o pork n beans
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1/2 cup barbeque sauce
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• a few drops liquid smoke (optional)
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 5-6 slices thick cut bacon

Preparation

Step 1

combine ketchup, barbeque sauce, brown sugar, mustard, worchestershire sauce, liquid smoke, garlic and pepper in a medium size bowl and mix well; set aside.

Open each can of beans and pour off all the standing liquid in the top of the can. Discard liquid and add beans to the ketchup mixture. Mix beans gently with the ketchup mixture until thoroughly combined then pour into a shallow 2 quart baking dish.

Cut bacon into 1/2 inch pieces then polace evenly in a single layer on top of beans. I like to kind of crumble each piece a bit instead of laying them flat. Bake beans, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 1 to 1.5 hours or until bacon is cooked through and starting to crisp. Enjoy!
