Skillet Baked Beans

Skillet Baked Beans bring together smoky bacon, tender pork-and-beans, and a rich brown sugar–molasses glaze brightened with a hint of yellow mustard. The result is a sweet-savory side with glossy, thick sauce and gentle tang, perfect for potlucks, barbecues, or weeknight dinners alongside grilled meats.

  2. 2

    Stir the pork and beans, onion, brown sugar, molasses, and mustard into the bacon in the skillet; bring to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes.
