Bring the taste of nostalgia to your table with Mom’s Easy Baked Beans, a comforting, crowd-pleasing side dish that’s perfect for potlucks, barbecues, or weeknight dinners. This recipe transforms canned baked beans into something truly special by layering them with crispy bacon, sautéed onions, and a sweet and tangy sauce made from brown sugar, ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. With just 15 minutes of prep time and a simple bake in the oven, these rich, flavor-packed baked beans come together effortlessly. Serve them straight from the casserole dish, and watch them disappear—this dish is as easy as it is irresistible!
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Open the cans of baked beans and pour them into a large oven-safe casserole dish or Dutch oven.
Chop the bacon slices into small pieces and fry them in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Dice the yellow onion and sauté it in the same skillet with the remaining bacon grease until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the cooked onion, crispy bacon pieces, brown sugar, ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce to the casserole dish with the baked beans. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Place the casserole dish, uncovered, into the preheated oven. Bake for 1 hour, stirring halfway through to ensure the flavors blend evenly.
Remove the baked beans from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
