The BEST Baked Beans EVER! These are the perfect combo of tangy, sweet and savory with only 15 minutes of prep! They are a MUST at every potluck, cookout and summer barbecue!
Cook bacon in a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Remove to paper towel lined plate.
Drain all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease. Add onions and cook until they begin to caramelize, approximately 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and cook an additional 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
Add all of the “Sauce” ingredients to a 9x13 pan. Whisk to combine. Add beans, bacon, onions/garlic and stir until evenly combined. Spread into an even layer and cover with foil.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, stir, recover with foil and bake and additional 15-30 minutes or until hot and bubbly and the sauce is thickened to your liking. (For thinner sauce, cook closer to 15 additional minutes, thicker sauce, closer to 30 additional minutes).
