Better Then Bushs Baked Beans Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, stir together the baked beans, onion, brown sugar, syrup, ketchup and mustard. Pour into a 9x13 inch baking dish, and lay strips of bacon across the top.
• Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until the bacon is browned and the beans have thickened.

Steps:

• Fry bacon in frying pan.
• I cut into bite sized pieces with scissors before frying.
• As bacon fries, chop onions.
• When bacon is finished, remove from pan,drain and wrap in paper towels to absorb grease.
• Saute onions in bacon fat til translucent.
• Pour into strainer, but not necessary to rinse or pat with paper towel.
• For me, straining is enough.
• Pour canned beans into 6 Qt Crockpot.
• Stir in bacon, onions, ketchup, Salsa, Brown Sugar and cumin, mixing very well.
• Stir often.
• Cook on high for 3 hours, then switch to low for another two hours, well ahead of serving as it tastes even better the longer you allow the flavors to blend together.
• If I'm making them for a party, I make them early morning for that night or even the night before, cooking overnight in the crockpot.
• They will stay hot for a long time and you can just turn the crockpot back on a couple hours before serving.
• I taste them often as they're cooking and add more salsa and/or cumin to taste.
• We like to taste the cumin, but if you don't that's ok.
• Recipe is easily halved or doubled.
• I never measure anything- I add all ingredients for our taste preferences.
• Freezes VERY well and you can reheat in microwave or in crockpot once thawed.
• Leftovers are great the next day!
