It's BBQ season

Just in time for all the barbeques that I am sure will be happening this weekend I figured I would post one of my favorite foods to eat at a barbeque (well besides my mommy's amazing potato salad which I don't have the patience to make). My mommy's amazing baked beans!! The only catch is, I think I may have mentioned it before, I don't have measurements on this one. I will give you the ingredients and the steps, but you kind of have to figure out how much to your own taste and to the size batch you are making. Sorry.



Baked Beans



Van de Kamps Pork and Beans

Brown Sugar (The sweeter the better to me so I use a lot)

Ketchup (a pretty good amount)

Bacon, sliced into 1/4 - 1/2 inch slivers

Onion, chopped

mustard (just a touch)



Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a frying pan, start cooking the bacon. When it is just starting to brown, add the onion. When the bacon is brown, but not crispy, drain on a paper towel.

Choose a baking dish that is appropriate for the amount of beans you are making. In that dish, combine Pork and Beans, brown sugar, ketchup, bacon and onions, and mix together. Add a little mustard (maybe a Tablespoon per large can of pork and beans) and mix thoroughly. Bake for about an hour.

Enjoy!!
