Cowboy Baked Beans
Cowboy Baked Beans marry smoky bacon with tender pork and beans, onions, and green bell pepper, then slow-bake until glossy, thick, and richly caramelized. A touch of ketchup and brown sugar adds balanced sweetness against savory, smoky notes. Serve as a hearty side at cookouts, potlucks, or alongside grilled meats.
