Ingredients

2 cans (28 oz each) baked beans with bacon

½ cup barbecue sauce

¼ cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon yellow mustard

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon black pepper

5–6 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into ½-inch pieces

Preheat and Prepare the Dish

Old Fashioned 7 Minute Frosting

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.

Mix the Bean Base

In a large bowl, combine the baked beans, ketchup, BBQ sauce, brown sugar, yellow mustard,

Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and pepper.

Stir thoroughly until everything is evenly blended.

Transfer to Baking Dish

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.

Add the Bacon Topping

Scatter the diced bacon pieces evenly across the top of the beans.

Bake Until Bubbling and Crisp

Place the dish in the oven and bake uncovered for 60–90 minutes, or until the beans are hot and bubbling and the bacon is crispy and fully cooked.

Serve Warm

Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm for the best flavor and texture.
