Company baked beans on the plate and ready to eat!

This is my much requested baked beans that I make at most family gatherings. Many of you probably use a similar recipe but I think what we like and makes a big difference is the brand of beans… Bush’s Baked Beans!
We will be at my son and daughter-in-law’s home on Sunday (Easter) for a cookout and my family requested that I bring the baked beans and our Family’s Favorite Fruit Salad. I will also be taking deviled eggs because you must have eggs on Easter!

Ingredients:
Serves 12-15

• 4 lb.  Original Bush’s Baked Beans (4- 1lb. cans)
• 1 medium onion diced
• 1/2 lb. bacon
• 1/3 C brown sugar
• 2 T  ketchup

Do this:
Cut bacon with scissors into squares, fry until crispy, remove bacon with slotted spoon and add to baked beans. Sauté diced onions in the bacon grease until translucent and add to baked beans using the slotted spoon. Now add the brown sugar and ketchup and stir all ingredients until blended. Bake in 3 quart casserole dish (I use Corningware) uncovered in 375º oven for 1 hour or until bubbly.
The Bush’s baked beans are a bit smaller and firmer than some of the other brands and will not turn “mushy” unless overcooked.

Fry bacon until brown and crispy

All ingredients have been added to the beans and ready for the oven
