Bacon Baked Beans Recipes

Steps:

• In a 3-qt. slow cooker, combine the first six ingredients. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until vegetables are tender. Just before serving, stir in bacon.

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crispy, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels, leaving bacon grease in the skillet. Crumble bacon when cool enough to handle.
• Cook onion in the bacon grease over medium heat until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer onion mixture (including bacon grease) to a slow cooker.
• Cook and stir ground beef in the same skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to the slow cooker.
• Add pork and beans, kidney beans, butter beans, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke to the slow cooker.
• Cook on Low for 4 hours. Serve with crumbled bacon on top.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Chop 3 slices bacon.
• In ovenproof pot over medium-high heat, cook chopped bacon, onion and garlic, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 minutes.
• Remove from heat.
• Stir in beans, preserves, vinegar and mustard.
• Cut remaining bacon slices in half; arrange over baked beans.
• Bake 1 hour or until bacon is crisp.

Steps:

• BAKED BACON:.
• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Line a half sheet with aluminum foil and put a cooling rack on top. Arrange slices in rows, with fat edges slightly overlapping lean edges.
• Bake 375 degrees without turning 20-25 minutes (depending on thickness) but remove from oven before it begins to crisp. If needed, cook more, 2 minutes at a time.
• Remove bacon to double layer of paper towel and blot excess grease.
• Lay bacon on cutting board and cut into bite-size pieces before completely cool. (I cut across the entire pile of bacon with one slice.).
• BAKED BEANS:.
• Set oven to 350°F.
• Mix the Baked Beans ingredients in a 3-quart casserole dish or half buffet tray. Add the cut-up cooked bacon and mix a little.
• Bake uncovered for 1 hour.
• Allow to cool 1 hour before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cook bacon in a large skillet or in the microwave until much of the grease has been released, but the bacon is still flexible. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
• In a 9 inch square baking dish, stir together the baked beans, onion, mustard, ketchup, brown sugar and apple. Top with slices of bacon.
• Bake uncovered for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until the bacon is crisp and beans are bubbling hot.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• In a 2-quart Dutch oven, cook bacon over medium, flipping occasionally, until some of the fat is rendered and bacon is browned in places, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• In a large bowl, combine maple syrup, mustard, ketchup, brown sugar, chicken broth, Worcestershire, and garlic. Stir in beans. Season with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
• Transfer beans to Dutch oven and top with bacon and thyme. Bake, covered, for 30 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until liquid has thickened and bacon is brown, about 40 minutes more. Let sit 5 minutes; mix well before serving.

Steps:

• Arrange the bacon in a large cast iron skillet or 3-quart braiser over medium heat. Cook, rendering the fat and crisping the bacon, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. When cool, roughly chop the bacon. Set aside.
• Leave the bacon grease in the pan and add the onion and bell pepper. Season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic, harissa, coriander, cumin, cayenne and cinnamon and stir to combine and toast until the spices are fragrant. Add the tomato sauce, molasses, vinegar, stock or water and half of the bacon. Season again with a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and reduce to a simmer. Stir in the beans. Simmer rapidly until thickened, about 15 minutes. Season to taste. To store, let beans come to room temperature and refrigerate in a covered container. You can make the beans up to 2 days in advance and just reheat.
• Sprinkle with the remaining bacon, the scallions and cilantro. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Cook the pancetta and about two-thirds of the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer the bacon and pancetta to a bowl using a slotted spoon. Reserve the drippings in the skillet.
• Add the onion to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden, about 8 minutes. Add the ginger, garlic and chili powder and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and their juice, the molasses, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, mustard powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Increase the heat to medium high, bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Add the pinto beans, then add the navy beans and their liquid and return to a simmer. Stir in the pancetta-bacon mixture. Transfer to a 2-quart baking dish.
• Pulse the buns with the remaining uncooked bacon in a food processor until finely ground. Sprinkle the crumbs evenly over the bean mixture. Cover and bake 45 minutes, then uncover and bake until the crumbs are golden brown, about 20 more minutes.
