Kicked-Up Canned Baked Beans (1/2 Recipe)

Ingredients

Cooking spray - for pan

3 slices bacon - diced

1/2 small onion - finely chopped

1 28-ounce can original recipe (such as Bush's) undrained

1/8 cup ketchup

1 1/2 tablespoons light brown sugar

1 tablespoons spicy brown mustard

1 tablespoons molasses

1 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar - optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 2-quart (square Pyrex) casserole dish with cooking spray. Set aside.

Place the bacon in a skillet or saute pan and cook for 4-5 minutes over medium heat until rendered and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

Place the onion in the skillet with the bacon drippings and cook for 5-6 minutes or until very soft. If the pan gets dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of water and continue cooking until the onions are cooked to a soft stage.

Combine the beans, onions, ¾ of the bacon and the remaining ingredients

Sprinkle the remaining bacon over the top.

Bake uncovered for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until bubbling and the top is caramelized.
