Description

These Outrageous Baked Beans are a quintessential American comfort food, blending the smokiness of bacon with the deep sweetness of brown sugar and chili sauce. Unlike typical desserts, this hearty dish features a robust mix of pork and beans, kidney beans, and green beans for added texture. The addition of diced bell peppers and green onions provides a fresh crunch that cuts through the rich, molasses-like sauce. Ideal for backyard barbecues, football games, or as a substantial side dish for a Sunday roast, these beans develop incredible depth of flavor as they simmer. The slow cooking process allows the ingredients to meld together, creating a thick, sticky, and incredibly satisfying meal that pairs perfectly with cornbread or grilled meats.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325&# 194;°F (165ðC) if using an oven-safe Dutch oven, or prepare a slow cooker on low setting.
  2. Cook the bacon until crisp, then drain and crumble into small pieces.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained green beans, pork and beans, kidney beans, and chili.
  4. Add the diced bell pepper, sliced green onions, and crumbled bacon to the bean mixture.
  5. Stir in the chili sauce and brown sugar until all ingredients are evenly coated.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a crock pot, large pot, or Dutch oven.
  7. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  8. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for at least 2 hours, stirring every 20-30 minutes to ensure the bottom does not burn.
  9. Serve hot as a side dish.
