Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Step 2

Pour rinsed and drained beans into a 9x13 baking dish. Set aside.

Step 3

Reserve enough bacon to cover the top of your baking dish (I used 5 slices). Using kitchen shears, cut the remaining bacon into bite size pieces.

Step 4

Add cut bacon pieces and onions to a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Cook until bacon is par cooked, about 3 minutes.

Step 5

Add ketchup, brown sugar, molasses, mustard and pepper. Whisk to combine. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat.

Step 6

Pour the sauce over the beans and gently stir to combine. Cut reserved bacon into bite sized pieces and place on top of bean mixture.

Step 7

Bake beans in a preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until sauce is thickened and bacon is cooked through.

Step 8

Serve and enjoy!

Step 9

You may precook your own dried beans and substitute each can with 1 1/2 cups precooked beans.
