Ingredients

4 slices bacon chopped
1 medium yellow onion chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
2 (28-ounce) cans baked beans
3 tablespoons ketchup
3 tablespoons barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a large ovenproof skillet, fry the bacon until crispy. Using a slotted spoon, move it to paper towels to drain. Leave 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the skillet and discard the rest.
Add the onions and cook over medium-low heat until soft. Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic. Cook for 1 minute while stirring.
Add the beans, ketchup, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, mustard, and smoked paprika. Stir to combine and simmer over low heat for a few minutes. Taste the beans and season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
Stir the bacon into the beans and place the skillet in the oven. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop over low heat.
