Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease 3-qt casserole dish.

In medium skillet, cook bacon until crisp, drain on paper towels. Pour off all but 1 tbsp bacon drippings. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 6 minutes.

Meanwhile, crumble bacon or chop into small pieces.

In large bowl, combine beans, bacon, onion and 1 cup sauce. Fold until combined. Transfer to prepared casserole dish, adding more sauce, if needed, to make almost level with beans. Bake, uncovered, 2 hours, until sauce is bubbling (if beans start to look dry while cooking, cover dish with foil). Let sit 10 minutes before serving. Refrigerate any leftovers.
