When it comes to summertime get-togethers, there are some absolute essentials you're going to want--like our Backyard Bean Bake! Made with canned baked beans, sweet molasses, smoky crumbled bacon, and more, it's a go-along that everyone will want the recipe for!
What You'll Need
- 2 (16-ounce) cans baked beans
- 2 (2.8-ounce) cans French-fried onions
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 3 tablespoons real bacon bits
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened
What to Do
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat an 1-1/2-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients except one can of French-fried onions; mix well then pour into baking dish. Top with remaining can of French-fried onions.
- Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until bubbly and the onions are golden. Serve immediately.
Test Kitchen Tip
- No need to overthink what brand of beans to use! We suggest whichever one is on sale or that you have in your pantry. And if you want to add a bit more bacon, go ahead, or if you like your beans a bit sweeter, feel free to add some brown sugar. Remember, with this recipe there are no rules.

Sounds good. Do you have any recipes to makes Boston Baked Beans from scratch with dried beans? I'd like to make baked beans from scratch.

Hello! Unfortunately, we do not have any baked bean recipes that start with dried beans on our website, but you can find one in our "Cook it Slow, Cook it Fast" cookbook. We'll definitely consider adding a from-scratch recipe for these in the future. :)

This recipe was gross. All that work just for it to taste like a can of baked beans. I will never make this again.

These beans are delicious and so easy. Perfect when I want to make baked beans on a week night for dinner. I used Bush baked beans and they were plenty bubbly. Great one here.

Made this for July 4th. Disaster! I started with Grandma Brown's baked beans, and they came out like a dry brick. I laughed when I saw "until bubbly". What brand did people use to have more liquidy beans?
