Pat's Oven-Baked Bean Casserole

Pat's Oven-Baked Bean Casserole brings together smoky bacon and a medley of beans in a rich, sweet-tangy molasses sauce with a hint of mustard and Worcestershire. The flavors are deep and robust, with a glossy, oven-baked finish that pairs well with grilled mains or potluck spreads. Serve it warm for gatherings, barbecues, or cozy weekend dinners.

Pat's Oven-Baked Bean Casserole
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet and cook over medium-high heat until evenly browned. Drain, reserving 2 tablespoons of drippings, then crumble the bacon and place it in a large bowl. Cook the onion and the garlic in the reserved drippings until the onion is tender; drain any excess grease and transfer them to the bowl with the bacon.

  3. 3

    Add the pinto beans, northern beans, baked beans, kidney beans, and garbanzo beans to the bacon and onions. Stir in the ketchup, molasses, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and black pepper. Mix well and transfer the mixture to a 9x12 inch casserole dish.

  4. 4

    Cover and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
