BBQ Baked Beans

BBQ Baked Beans

Our BBQ baked beans are a symphony of sweet, tangy, and savory notes that will captivate your taste buds. Infused with the smoky flavor of BBQ sauce, the richness of brown sugar, and a kick of Dijon mustard, these beans are more than just a side dish - they're the star of every barbecue and picnic. To make these, we use navy beans - a classic choice for baked beans due to their creamy texture and ability to absorb surrounding flavors.

Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • Salt (1 teaspoon, or to taste)
  • Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon, or to taste)
  • Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
  • Worcestershire sauce (1 tablespoon)
  • Dijon mustard (1 tablespoon)
  • Onion (1 medium, finely chopped)
  • Brown sugar (1/4 cup)
  • BBQ sauce (1 cup)
  • Canned navy beans (2 (15-ounce) cans, drained and rinsed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the drained and rinsed navy beans, BBQ sauce, brown sugar, finely chopped onion, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the beans are coated in the sauce.
  3. Transfer the bean mixture into a medium-sized baking dish.
  4. Cover the dish with aluminum foil to prevent the beans from drying out and bake for 45 minutes.
  5. After 45 minutes, remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and is bubbling.
  6. Remove from the oven and let the beans cool for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the sauce to thicken further.
