Chef's Tips & Variations
-
Bacon Choice: Using a thick-cut, smoky bacon will give the deepest flavor.
-
Slow Cooker Method: This is a perfect make-ahead dish. After step 4, transfer the bean mixture to a slow cooker. Cook on LOW for 4-6 hours or on HIGH for 2-3 hours.
-
Spice it Up: For a kick, add a diced jalapeño (with or without seeds) when you sauté the onion, or add a dash of hot sauce to the bean mixture.
-
Sweetness Control: If you prefer a less sweet bean, you can reduce the brown sugar to 2 tablespoons. The barbecue sauce and ketchup also contribute sweetness.
-
Texture: For a thicker sauce, you can let the beans simmer on the stovetop for 10-15 minutes before baking to reduce the liquid.
-
Meat Lover's Twist: Stir in 1 cup of cooked, ground beef or pulled pork for an even heartier dish.
