This easy recipe for Baked Beans is a crowd-pleaser! Served hot or at room temperature, they are the perfect side dish for BBQ’s and picnics this summer.
When my husband and I were first married, this was one of the dishes he asked me to learn how to make. You know, “like Mom used to make-can you do that?” Every summer I pull out this baked beans recipe for BBQ’s, picnics and church potlucks.
Well, I say “recipe” but you would laugh if you saw what I have written down. Jared’s mom has been making this for so many years, she doesn’t use measurements anymore.
So my recipe card says things like, write “Mom” in ketchup two times across the pan or just go back and forth a couple of times across the pan with Worcestershire sauce. I love it! But it doesn’t translate well to an online recipe, so I did my best to recreate the recipe for you 🙂
The sweetness of the sugar, the smokiness of the bacon and the tangy flavor of mustard come together to make this the perfect side dish for any BBQ. I’m not exaggerating when I say I never bring home leftovers!

Instructions
- Drain any excess liquid from the cans of beans and then pour into a 9X13" pan.
