Southern Style Baked Beans Recipe

Name: Southern Style Baked Beans
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 (28 ounce) cans baked beans; 1/2 cup ketchup; 1/2 cup barbecue sauce; 1/4 cup brown sugar; 1 tablespoon yellow mustard; 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce; 3 drops liquid smoke (optional); 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder; 1/4 teaspoon pepper; 5 -6 slices thick-cut bacon

Servings: persons

1
Combine ketchup, barbeque sauce, brown sugar, mustard, worchestershire sauce, Liquid Smoke, garlic and pepper in a medium-sized bowl and mix well; set aside.
2
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.
3
Cut bacon into 1/2 inch pieces then place pieces evenly in a single layer on top of beans. I like to kinda crumple each piece a bit instead of laying them flat - like little inchworms. The cute ride-on toys from the 80's not actual worms because that's gross. Bake beans, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 1 to 1.5 hours or until bacon is cooked through and starting to crisp. Enjoy!
