Brown Sugar and Bacon Baked Beans

Brown Sugar and Bacon Baked Beans

The warm weather means the grills coming out and BBQ's popping up all over the place.   It also means Baked Beans which I just love, but have to really pace myself with these cause I can wolf down the whole pan by myself.

I've tried a few different versions but I still think that Prudence Pennywise's recipe is the best one and the one the family and I enjoy the most.

1/2 to 1 lb bacon, chopped
1 large onion, minced
3 (15 ounce cans) pinto beans, drained
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons mustard (I've used yellow or dijon with good results)
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon salt


Preheat oven to 350. In a large skillet, fry bacon until almost crisp.
