This recipe is a family favorite, handed down by my grandmother. It’s the kind of dish that disappears completely at potluck picnics, no matter how many other people also brought baked beans. To be completely honest, I have never made this dish according to any recipe - it lends itself to guess and dump, and despite the inevitable variation, has never turned out badly yet. The following amounts are pretty close to what I normally use. Fix this for your next BBQ and mark my words, everyone will rave! Ingredients:
3 16-ounce cans of pork and beans
1 small onion, chopped
4-5 slices of uncooked bacon, chopped
1 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup ketchup

Drain and discard all juice off pork and beans (and discard that one lame little bit of pork fat you will find at the top as well). Combine beans and remaining ingredients in a large saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Simmer for several minutes until the sugar begins to caramelize and the ingredients are well mixed. Pour beans into a casserole dish and bake at 400 F for one hour or until the edges of the beans start to brown (they are good slightly burnt on top, too).
In my family, we eat these beans with potato chips as the utensils of choice. Okay, not much about this recipe is healthy, I’ll admit, but it is most definitely yum even if it is not gourmet!
