Baked Beans With Sweet Pickle Juice - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 (15 ounce) cans pork and beans
1 cup light brown sugar, tightly packed
1 1/2 cups ketchup
3/4 cup yellow mustard
3/4 cup molasses
1/2 cup sweet pickle juice
1 large yellow onion, chopped
8 slices bacon, sliced crosswise into 1/4 inch slices

Preparation

Heat the oven to 250\u00b0. Put the pork and beans, brown sugar, ketchup, mustard, molasses, and pickle juice in a large bowl and mix well (if making half the recipe this can be done right in your 2-quart bean pot). Divide mixture between two 2-quart bean pots, or put it all in one 4-quart bean pot.
Top the bean mixture with the chopped onion and the bacon. Bake, uncovered, until the bacon is crisp and the beans are hot and bubbling, about 4 hours. Increase the temperature of the oven to 350\u00b0 and bake for another hour. Remove the pots from the oven and allow the beans to cool slightly. Stir the onions and bacon into the beans before serving.
