Ingredients

1/2 medium white onion finely diced (about 1/2 cup)
4 slices thick-cut applewood smoked bacon cut into pieces
2 (15 ounce) cans baked beans I buy organic
3/4 cup homemade sweet barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons un-sulphured molasses

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°.
In a large pan, add onions and bacon and then heat on medium
Cook until onions are soft, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes.
Remove the pan off of the heat and add in the beans, barbecue sauce and black pepper and stir.
Cover the pan and slide it onto the middle rack of your preheated oven. Cook for 1 hour stirring every 20 minutes. When the hour is up, use pot holders to remove the lid and slide the pan back into your oven for 15 minutes.
Allow the beans to cool for a few minutes before serving. Season with black pepper to taste.
Beans will thicken up more as they cool.
