Kicked-Up Canned Baked Beans is an easy and delicious way to make ordinary canned baked beans taste as though you made them from scratch!﻿

Kicked-Up Canned Baked Beans

Cooking spray (for pan)

bacon (diced)

onion (finely chopped)

beans

ketchup

spicy brown mustard

molasses

Worcestershire sauce

apple cider vinegar (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray a 4-quart casserole dish with cooking spray.  Set aside.

Place the bacon in a skillet or saute pan and cook for 4-5 minutes over medium heat until rendered and crispy.  Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

Place the onion in the skillet with the bacon drippings and cook for 5-6 minutes or until very soft.  If the pan gets dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of water and continue cooking until the onions are cooked to a soft stage.

Combine the beans, onions, 3/4 of the bacon and the remaining ingredients using 2 tablespoons of brown sugar to start with in the prepared baking dish.

Taste and adjust sweetness with more brown sugar as desired.  Add the apple cider vinegar if using for a little tanginess.

Sprinkle the remaining bacon over the top.

Bake uncovered for 1 hour or until bubbling and the top is caramelized.

The fresh dill-infused flavor of a cool creamy cucumber salad is the best way to dress up any meal on a warm summer day. It&#39;s super easy to make!

red onions (thinly sliced)

mayonnaise

sour cream

white wine vinegar

black pepper

dill (chopped)

Place the sliced cucumbers (4) and red onions (1 cup) in a bowl. Toss with 1 ½ tablespoons salt until evenly coated. Transfer to a colander and place over a bowl.

Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge to drain for 4 hours or overnight. Throw out the liquid that's accumulated in the bowl.

In a mixing bowl, mix together the mayonnaise (1 cup), sour cream 91 cup), vinegar (2 tablespoons), sugar (1/4 teaspoon), black pepper (1 ½ teaspoons), dill (1/2 cup), and 2 teaspoons salt until evenly combined.

Layout cucumbers in a single layer on a thick layer of paper towels then top them with a second layer of paper towels. Press lightly to remove any extra moisture. 

Add the cucumbers to the mayonnaise mixture and toss to coat well. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 2-4 hours to allow flavors to marry. 

When ready to serve, taste for seasoning (I added 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and tossed). Best served cold.
