This Boston Baked Beans recipe is a classic side dish perfect for BBQs, picnics, holidays, and gatherings. Unlike traditional recipes, this is an easier, quicker, and even healthier version of this summer favorite. Smokey sweet and delicious!
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and grease a shallow casserole dish or square pan.
Drain canned beans and reserve liquid. In a medium skillet, saute onion in oil until softened.
Combine the beans, chopped bacon, and onion. In a separate bowl, whisk together the molasses, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and salt and pepper. Drizzle over the beans and toss to coat. Pour just enough reserved juice from the beans to barely cover the beans.
Cover the casserole with foil and bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes.
Notes
Storing: Homemade baked beans will last three to four days in the refrigerator when stored in an airtight container.
Reheating: Beans can be reheated easily in the microwave, on the stovetop, or in a 350-degree F oven (covered with foil).
