Mommy's Sweet & Spicy Baked Beans



If you're not normally a fan of Baked Beans then this recipe will change your mind and if you're normally a fan of Baked Beans then this dish will instantly become a newfound favorite.

Ingredients (serves 6-8):

- 1 28 oz can of Bush's "Original" Baked Beans
- 1 regular package of Bacon
- 1 large Tomato, diced
- 1 White Onion, diced
- 1 cup of Ketchup
- 1 tsp of Sriracha
- 1/2 tsp of Paprika
- 1/2 tsp of Ground Cayenne Pepper
- Salt & Pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees

2. Fry up the bacon until crispy. Discard bacon fat (without cleaning or wiping down the skillet) and set aside the cooked and crispy bacon

3. Using the same skillet in which the bacon was cooked (so there's still remnants of the bacon fat), throw in the onions and cook on medium-high heat until soft and translucent. Throw in the tomatoes and cook until the the tomatoes are also soft, about 5 more minutes

4. Add the large can of Bush's "Original" Baked Beans and mix well. Let the mixture boil and then set it to simmer on medium-low heat

5. Stir in the Ketchup, Sriracha, Paprika, and Ground Cayenne Pepper. Let it simmer

6. While the beans are simmering in the skillet, coarsely chop up the bacon then add it to the mixture (set aside about 2 slices for the topping)

7. Transfer the beans from the skillet to an 8x8 inch pan and place in the oven for 30 minutes

8. Remove from oven, sprinkle the remaining pieces of bacon on top, serve, and enjoy!
