Semi-Homemade Baked Beans

Jun 30, 2020 · Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Josh is to the point that we cannot cookout burgers without these baked beans. They just go hand in hand.

This is how my mom makes baked beans… well almost. If you really want to make them like my mom – you will cook the bacon, then add some diced yellow onion to the bacon grease. Cook until done and add the cooked bacon, onions and bacon grease to the beans. It’s so good, I just can’t bring myself to do it!

This is basically a “fix it and forget it” type of side dish, but don’t forget it… I’ve over cooked them before and they were a bit dry… a sign of having too much fun with our guests… Y’all let me know what you think!
