Better Baked Beans

Side Dish 🥗 Southern Recipes 🇺🇸American

Better Baked Beans pairs canned beans with a tangy-sweet lift from mustard, ketchup, brown sugar, and pancake syrup, plus a savory finish from crisp bacon on top. The onions add a gentle bite while the sauce thickens in the oven for a glossy, sticky glaze. Ideal for cookouts, potlucks, or as a hearty dinner side.
