1 Video | Photo: Sunny's Easy Baked Beans Recipe
Ingredients
- 6 pieces bacon
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 6 to 8 sprigs fresh thyme
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 3 cloves garlic, grated on a rasp
- 1 tablespoon dry mustard
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha
- 4 Roma tomatoes, seeded and chopped
- 3 (15.5-ounce) cans cannellini beans, 1 drained
- 4 cups beef stock
Directions
Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Over a Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, cut 3 strips of the bacon into small pieces and cook on medium-high heat until the fat is rendered and the bacon is crisp. Remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate leaving the fat in the pot. Add the onions, thyme, and then season with salt and pepper. Cook until the onions are tender and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the brown sugar, garlic, dry mustard, paprika, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and Sriracha. Stir to mix and cook until the brown sugar melts and the pot begins to bubble. Add the tomatoes, beans (don't drain 2 of the cans), stock, and remaining 3 strips of uncooked bacon.
Cover and place in the oven to bake for 40 minutes, remove the lid and continue to cook for 20 minutes more. Remove from the oven and fish out the bacon strips and discard them, or leave them if you don't mind the texture. Serve the beans warm with chopped bacon sprinkled over the top.

I loved Sunny's recipe for "Sunny's Easy Baked Beans", ii is a simple recipe with a bite to it for everyone at the table! If you think it is too runny or too hot, then cut back upon the broth and spices. After you make so many changes, it might not be Sunny's recipe any longer! Make it one more time trying to work the recipe correctly---if you are still unable to complete the recipe correctly, then drop out the parts you do not care for! The rest of you just enjoy!!! :-

These were delicious. I loved the spice but it was too much for some of our guests. I didn't have dry mustard so I used a country style mustard and the flavor was good but a bit too tart. I did add a little bit more brown sugar and that clamed it down.

Really good beans. My grocery store doesn't carry sriracha so I used Louisiana Hot Sauce instead. The contrast of sweet and spicy were great. Only 4 stars because the beans were too watery, even with a few extra minutes in the oven. I think I will just use 1 cup of stock next time.
