I am baked bean obsessed. To say the least. It’s not uncommon for me to buy a can and then eat them everyday for a week straight. I eat them plain, on roasted sweet potatoes, on toast, pretty much any way you can imagine. But I’ve never made my own until recently.
Granted, this recipe starts out with a can of pork & beans but still – I made them, right?
I usually buy the super sweet Bush’s beans with maple syrup so this recipe was quite a change. It’s not sweet at all but it’s so delicious! If you wanted to take this to a large cookout, it’s very easy to double – double everything but the soup mix.
Baked Beans
- ½ pound ground beef (cooked)
- ¼ cup water
- ½ tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 package onion soup mix
- 1 15 oz can Van Camps pork & beans
- ¼ cup ketchup
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon prepared mustard
- 1 garlic clove (minced)
- ½ pound bacon (cooked)
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Combine ground beef, water, white vinegar, onion soup mix, pork & beans, ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, and garlic. Stir well and pour into an 8 x 8 inch baking dish. Top with bacon and cover with aluminum foil.
- Bake, covered, for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes.

I found your blog through Alabama Bloggers. I just moved to Fort Rucker and am looking around to see if there are any blogging groups in the area. I love your blog and love to cook also! The baked bean recipe looks good, I will have to try it.

I haven’t made baked beans in a long time; this recipe looks great. I have never eaten them on toast but I love baked beans poured over potato chips.

I love baked beans but my husband (who does most of the cooking) doesn’t like overly sweet recipes. This looks totally delicious & it’s got the power of bacon! Printing this up for hm to make over the weekend, thank you for sharing!
