Beer Baked Beans

"I saw Sandra Lee make this on the Food Network. It looks like total comfort food, and because it's "semi-homemade" it's simple, too!"

 

• Ready In: 1hr 15mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 4 slices bacon (I plan to use turkey bacon)
• 1 medium red onion, diced
• 2 (28 ounce) cans baked beans (I plan to use vegetarian)
• 1⁄4 cup ketchup
• 1⁄4 cup spicy brown mustard (or less to taste)
• 3 tablespoons molasses
• 1 (12 ounce) bottle lager beer

directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Slice each slice of bacon into 4 pieces. Cook in a large pot over medium heat, until fat is rendered, but bacon is not yet crispy.
3. In pan with bacon fat, cook chopped onion until soft, about 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients, stir to combine. Bring to boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Carefully transfer with a ladle to a 2-quart casserole dish. Place on foil-lined baking sheet and bake 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until beans are desired thickness.

This was so quick and easy to do I liked it. I just did half the recipe and still have "planed overs". Served this over rice and it made a great dinner. Thanks Kree

this was a good way to doctor up canned baked beans. i liked it, but my family didn't like the mustard, they actually could taste it. next time i'd use less, and maybe add a drop of brown sugar. nice summer side dish.
