Ingredients

  • 2 28-ounce cans baked beans with juices*
  • 1/3 cup diced onions
  • 1/4 cup diced green bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup barbeque sauce (use your favorite)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Liquid Smoke

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF. Position a rack in the lower 1/3 of the oven (not the bottom notch, but maybe the one above)
  • Mix all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.
  • Spray a 2 quart baking dish with cooking spray (for ease of cleanup) and pour in the bean mixture. Level out the top.
  • Bake uncovered for 60 to 70 minutes. The top layer should be nice and caramelized with a thick sauce below.
  • Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

*My favorite baked beans to use with this recipe are Bush's Steakhouse Recipe Grillin' Beans, which are packed in 22 ounce cans. You can still use the recipe above, just back off slightly on the liquids, or drain the liquids from the cans before using.
