Favorite Baked Beans

These baked beans are the best! They couldn’t be any easier to make, either. It’s just a matter of mixing everything together in a bowl, pouring into a casserole dish, and baking for an hour. The bacon, molasses, crushed pineapple, and BBQ sauce create a perfect combination of sweet, tangy, and smoky flavors, and the French-fried onions add a crunchy topping.

This recipe can easily be made as vegetarian by using vegetarian baked beans and omitting the bacon. Use a bit of liquid smoke instead to impart the smoky flavor.
