What You'll Need

  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 3 tablespoon real bacon bits
  • 2 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon butter, softened

What to Do

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat an 1-1/2-quart  baking dish with cooking spray.

  3. 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.
