Ingredients

1 medium yellow onion finely diced (about 1/2 cup)
4 slices thick-cut applewood smoked bacon cut into pieces
28 ounces baked beans I buy organic
1/2 cup sweet barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons un-sulphured molasses do not use blackstrap

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350℉ (or 180℃)
In a 10-inch deep sided skillet, add onions and bacon and then heat on medium. Stir occasionally until onions are soft and the bacon is caramelized in spots - about 8 to 10 minutes.
Remove the pan off of the heat and add in the beans, barbecue sauce and molasses. Stir well to combine.
Cover the pan and slide it onto the middle rack of your preheated oven. Cook for 40 minutes, stirring halfway through. When time is up, use pot holders to remove the lid, then stir and slide the pan back into your oven for 20 minutes.
Allow the beans to cool for a few minutes before serving. The beans will thicken up more as they cool.
