Kay's Baked Beans

This is my baked beans recipe that I have made for years.  Amanda hates any kind of bean, but she actually enjoys these.  This recipe is easy to make and wonderful to take to a covered dish event.  Sometimes I add one diced small green bell pepper and saute it with the onion. If you like a spicy baked bean, try adding a diced jalepeno pepper or hot green chilis.  I have also just made this on the stove top in my cast iron skillet.



4 cans pork and beans
1/2 pound bacon, cut into 1-2 inch pieces
1 onion, finely diced
3 tablespoons molasses
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar

In a skillet, cook bacon for about 2 minutes to release bacon grease.  Add onions and reduce temperature to medium-low. Sauté onions in the bacon grease.  Combine molasses, pepper, dry mustard, garlic powder, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and brown sugar. Add to skillet and mix well.  Bring to a boil and then add pork and beans.  Pour into a large baking pan or casserole dish.  A Dutch oven also works well. Cover the dish with a lid or aluminum foil.

Bake for 1-2 hours in the 350 degree oven until thick and bubbly.
