Baked Beans Recipe – Step by Step Guide :- Nelly, whoa. I had no idea baked beans could taste this amazing. I had no idea baked beans could be made better. I had no idea baked beans could be so much a victory, a prayer, and a hymn.
However, they are able to. Now that I know, they can. Once, Pam Anderson (who I like to call “Pamanderson” occasionally just to save on energy) made some baked beans to go with her Caesar salad and her fall-off-the-bone slow cooker glazed ribs.
Baked Beans Recipe – Step by Step Guide
The legumes? That and a package of doughnuts were all they were. Furthermore, I reside in a Southern state. I am aware of baked beans. I am also aware of doughnuts. However, that’s a another tale for another day. You’ll be asked to bring these to cookouts time and time again if you bring them.

Directions
Preheat oven to 325°F. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position.
Once the bacon is partially cooked and has released about 1/4 cup of drippings, fry it in a big, deep sauté pan. After taking the bacon out of the pan, pat dry using paper towels.
Saute the onion and pepper in the pan drippings for approximately five minutes, or until they are soft.
Stir in the beans and the rest of the ingredients and bring to a simmer. If there’s not enough room in the pan, add the beans, bring to a simmer, then transfer to a big bowl and mix in the rest of the ingredients.
Fill an ovenproof 13-by-9-inch (or comparable) pan with the spiced beans. Add bacon on top, and bake for about two hours, or until the beans are bubbling and the sauce has the consistency of pancake syrup. After allowing it to slightly thicken, serve.

FAQs
What kind of bacon is best for baked beans?
Any kind of bacon will do, but thick-cut bacon is ideal for these beans (I say strips because Canadian bacon would not work). It would be ideal if you could locate the thick-cut bacon with peppers at your local supermarket!
Can baked beans be made ahead of time?
Baked beans for this recipe can be prepared the night before. Simply save the bacon topping until you’re ready to bake the beans so that it gets lovely and crispy!
How long do baked beans last in the fridge?
The beans keep well in the fridge for two to three days covered. To reheat the entire meal, you can either put it back in the oven or microwave individual servings.
