Howard's Baked Beans

My dear friend Andrea was gifted the best baked beans recipe from her step dad. You will never use another!! 


3-15oz cans of pork & beans, drained
1 lb bacon
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 cup molasses*
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 T Dijon mustard
Coca Cola

Cook the bacon reserving 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease.  Saute onions in bacon grease until tender.  Pour onions and grease into a large baking dish.  Add drained beans, molasses, brown sugar, and mustard to the baking dish.  Stir the ingredients together.  Crumble the cooked bacon and stir into the bean mixture.  Add a small amount of Coca Cola.  I usually start with about 1/4 cup.

Cook covered at 300 degrees for approximately 2 hours watching to make sure the beans do not get too dry.  Add more Coca Cola if the beans get too dry and stir.  The beans can be eaten right away or made ahead.  If you make the beans ahead of time, just add more Coca Cola to the beans when you reheat them.
